According to several insurance companies, the summertime months see a spike in workers comp claims and injuries at work. There are several reasons for this, but all of them can mean, for the injured person, lost wages, being out of work, and potential job loss. You’re not stuck, though. A workers’ compensation lawyer can help you learn about what you can do in terms of compensation, so you can heal and get back to work.
Summertime is generally a time when a lot of new people enter the workforce. Young people are home from college, teachers look for part-time work to supplement their income, and construction projects are more common on the roadways (that is, more people enter the construction industry). While this is generally seen as good for the economy, it can mean that there are people at jobs that haven’t had a lot of training for them yet. This can lead to more workplace accidents, from people falling, to people getting injured on workplace equipment, to any number of other possibilities. When accidents happen, it’s important to talk to a work accident attorney to find out what you can do to get back on track.
Anytime there are more people or more activities going on within a business, there can be an expected hike in workplace injuries and accidents. Things like construction sites, busy bars, and messenger services may see higher rates than normal thanks to increased traffic. When you get injured at work, it can be scary to think about how you’ll pay your rent or mortgage and bills on time if you have to miss shifts. In these cases, a workers compensation lawyer can help you get through the confusing parts and help you get your life back to normal. If you’re not sure if your accident is eligible for compensation, however, consulting with a work accident attorney can definitely clear things up. If you’re worried about finances, you can take comfort knowing that many work on contingency, meaning you only pay them if you win your case.
