Workers’ compensation laws vary from state to state but typically operate on a no-fault basis, meaning that recovery does not depend upon proving negligence by the employer. All relevant statutes are designed to provide monetary relief consisting of disability compensation and medical care for individuals injured during the course of job-related activities.
Each state’s laws also identify the types of injuries that are eligible to receive compensation. These include traumatic injuries that happen during the course of work and “occupational diseases,” which are diseases or conditions characteristic of the job. Mesothelioma, for instance, is typically classified as an occupational disease related to asbestos exposure.
It is also important to note that some state laws also make a distinction between employees, who are eligible for benefits, and independent contractors, who are not eligible. Compensation for workers’ compensation claims can be broken down into distinct types, which vary by state.
The workers’ compensation attorneys of Ashcraft & Gerel work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay unless your claim is resolved in your favor.
