We file claims against companies when workers suffer broken bones, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, neck and back injuries, shoulder harm, injuries to extremities, soft tissue injuries, thermal burns, chemical burns or even lose their lives.
What Oklahomans should know about our workers' compensation representation
In Oklahoma, employees who are injured while acting within the course and scope of their employment have the right to file a workers’ compensation claim against their employer. Workers’ compensation cases are different than civil cases in Oklahoma. Unlike a civil case, workers’ compensation cases proceed through an administrative system and the issues in a case are decided by a judge instead of a jury. Injured workers in Oklahoma are not entitled to pain and suffering. Instead, Oklahoma workers’ compensation laws allow for injured workers to have all of their medical bills paid, about 2/3 of their weekly lost wages paid and then the worker is entitled to a settlement based upon their respective degree of permanent disability. The degree of permanent disability is often a point of contention as that will determine the amount of money the injured worker is entitled to receive in settlement.
Workers’ compensation serves as an exclusive remedy for employees unless there are specific exceptions such as intentional conduct to injure the employee. If the injured person is actually an Independent contractor then they have the right to file a personal injury claim against other parties. If the other parties acted negligently. Unlike workers’ compensation, benefits in a civil setting will include all damages allowed under Oklahoma Uniform Jury Instruction 4.1 but include reasonable past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering past and future, disfigurement, scarring, lost wages, permanency of injuries.
Our Tulsa personal injury lawyers represent workers, site visitors, passersby, and others in filing personal injury claims. If you need assistance choosing a workers’ compensation lawyer, we can help you.
