Workers' Compensation Attorney in Wichita
Kansas Work Injury Lawyer
You are a hard worker who has always performed your job well. However, this hard work may have left with you a serious injury that prevents you from earning a living. Whether you are injured at an office or in an industrial plant, the same set of workers' compensation laws govern all claims and dictate who you can sue and what compensation you may recover following a workplace injury.
At the Warner Law Offices, located in Wichita, Kansas, we represent people with workers' compensation claims and third party personal injury claims. Workers' compensation laws prohibit you from filing a personal injury claim against your employer. In fact, your only avenue of recovery against them is a workers' compensation claim. However, Kansas law does not prohibit you from filing a lawsuit against a third party who was solely or jointly responsible for causing the accident that lead to your injuries. To learn more securing much-needed compensation after a workplace accident, please contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with one of our lawyers.
After any work-related accident or injury it is imperative that you immediately inform your employer as any delay can seriously undermine your ability to collect workers' compensation benefits. However, despite this need to act quickly, many people are hesitant to file a workers' compensation claim against their employers due to fears of retaliation. It is important to understand that this is not a claim against your employer, rather it is a safety net made available for all workers who have been injured while on the job. It simply does not matter who was at fault in your accident.
In order to determine how much workers' compensation benefits are available to you, you will need to consult with a doctor. We can direct you to accomplished doctors who will determine after a comprehensive examination whether or not you should be diagnosed with:
- Temporary total disability
- Temporary partial disability
- Permanent partial disability
- Permanent total disability
