If you have been injured in a workplace accident in the Evansville, Indiana area, Workers Compensation benefits can help you and your family handle financial challenges during this difficult time. However, if your Workers Compensation claim is turned down, or the benefits you are offered are lower than they should be, you need legal assistance from experienced Indiana Workers Compensation lawyers to get the compensation you need.

Klezmer Maudlin, PC, in Evansville, is a pro-worker law firm dedicated to seeking justice for injured workers. In our more than 100 years of combined legal experience, we have helped more than 31,000 injured workers get the benefits they need and are well prepared to help you at any stage of the Workers Compensation claim process.

Injured Workers in Evansville and throughout Indiana

If you got hurt in Evansville while performing your job, you are not alone. Nearly 150,000 people work in Evansville, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and employment is increasing. From April 2020 to April 2021, for example, the number of people working in manufacturing jobs in Evansville grew by almost 20%.

With more people working, there will, unfortunately, be more workplace accidents. The Indiana Department of Labor reports that in 2019 alone, 33 out of 1,000 workers in Indiana suffered a non-fatal work-related injury or illness that was serious enough for them to seek medical attention, and 146 people suffered fatal work-related injuries.

What Can an Evansville Workers Compensation Attorney Do for You?

If you or a loved one has suffered a work-related injury in the Evansville area, and you are not receiving the Workers Compensation benefits you need, you may be in a difficult situation. If your income is down because you are unable to work, and your medical expenses are soaring, you need help right away.

If you haven’t yet filed your Workers Compensation claim, you should get started immediately, since there are deadlines you have to meet to get your claim approved, and the sooner your claim is approved, the sooner you can start getting the compensation you need. Toward this end, our Evansville Workers Compensation attorneys will be glad to help with all the details of the application process to ensure that you file the proper forms and have all the supporting evidence and information that is required.

We will also determine whether you may have a claim against a third party who was responsible for your injuries. A lawsuit against an at-fault third party may recover substantial compensation in addition to your Workers’ Compensation benefits.

If your Workers’ Compensation claim has been partly or completely denied, you should know that this is not the end of the road; Indiana law gives you the right to dispute the decision. This is a very technical process, however, so consulting with an experienced Workers’ Compensation attorney for advice on how to proceed is highly recommended.

If you appeal your case, the experienced Evansville Workers Compensation Lawyers at Klezmer Maudlin are available to:

• Provide expert legal guidance and compassionate support through the complicated administrative process.
• Keep track of the statutes of limitations (deadlines) and ensure that everything is submitted on time.
• Gather and organize the necessary information and evidence.
• Follow the rules applying to medical information exchange.
• Find and prepare witnesses.
• Present evidence at the hearing using the required rules of evidence.
• Prepare and deliver a powerful argument on your behalf.
• Fight for your rights every step of the way.

Common Causes of Workplace Injuries in Evansville, Indiana

Workplace injuries often occur because of a one-time accident, but injuries or illnesses may also develop over the long term, such as repetitive stress injuries or cancer from long-term exposure to toxic substances.

Many types of accidents can cause injuries on the job. Construction sites have a high rate of severe and fatal injuries. Workers using or near heavy machinery in factories and warehouses are also at high risk of serious injuries. Service industry workers in nursing homes, hospitals, and restaurants may develop carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries.

Although these are some of the most common types of workplace risks, you could get injured on any job. Slip and fall accidents, for example, which can occur inside or outside while walking on wet, uneven, or slippery surfaces, are a common cause of fractures and other injuries. So too are motor vehicle accidents, which can occur while operating a motor vehicle in any kind of work-related situation.

Whatever the cause of your injury, if you were injured at work, the dedicated Evansville Workers’ Compensation lawyers at Klezmer Maudlin have the expertise you can depend on to help you get the benefits you deserve.
