St. Mary Parish, LA Workers’ Compensation Lawyer
If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits to cover your medical expenses and help replace your wages for the time you missed or must miss from work. Filing for workers’ compensation benefits is different from filing a lawsuit in court. The most important difference is the fact that you do not have to prove negligence or fault on the part of your employer to receive benefits.
There are, however, many ways your company and its insurer may challenge your claim. It can often be an uphill battle to get the benefits you are entitled to by law. St. Mary Parish, LA workers’ compensation attorney Patrick Skiles is no stranger to the Louisiana workers’ compensation system, and he can help you when your claim is denied or if you are not receiving the appropriate level of benefits.
