compensation laws can be complicated. A Michigan workers' compensation attorney in your area can explain to you the application process and help you receive the benefits to which you are entitled.
Although your benefits may vary depending on what state or federal law applies, workers injured on the job--regardless of whether your employer was at fault--may be entitled to benefits that include:
* Medical care
* Temporary disability benefits designed to at least partially replace lost wages if you were unable to work for more than one week
* Permanent disability benefits designed to at least partially replace lost wages
* Vocational rehabilitation
If you receive Michigan workers' compensation following an injury, you cannot sue your Michigan employer for additional compensation in connection with your injury. You may, however, be able to file a lawsuit against others involved in your injury. For example, if you were injured in an automobile accident while working and the other driver was at fault, you might be able to sue the other driver. Or if your injury was the result of a defective machine, you might be able to sue the machine manufacturer. A Michigan workers' compensation lawyer can advise you of your legal options.
