Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve gathered the most frequently asked questions from customers and answered them here!

What is a workers' compensation claim, and how does it work?

A workers’ compensation claim is a type of insurance that provides benefits to employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job. When an employee is injured or becomes ill, they can file a claim with their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. The insurance may then pay for the employee’s medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs.

How much compensation can I expect for my injury?

The amount of compensation you can expect for your injury will depend on several factors, including the severity of your injury, the amount of time you are unable to work, and the type(s) of evaluation(s) you require. In general, workers’ compensation benefits cover medical expenses and lost wages, but the amount of compensation will vary depending on your specific case.

Can I file a claim if my injury happened outside of work?

Typically, workers’ compensation only covers injuries that occur while you are working. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, such as injuries that occur while traveling for work or injuries that are caused by a work-related activity. Consult with the Law Office of Joseph Pluta to determine whether your injury is covered by workers’ compensation insurance.
