Worker’s compensation is a specialized area of law that focuses on the rights and benefits of employees who have been injured or fallen ill as a result of their jobs.
In most cases, when you are injured, you cannot sue your employer due to state laws that limit or eliminate personal injury claims against your employer. So worker’s compensation lawyer is an attorney who specializes in this field, representing either the injured worker or the employer during compensation claims processes. The core of what a comp lawyer does revolves around ensuring that an injured worker receives all of the benefits that the law will allow.
