What do I Need to Apply for Workers' Compensation in Louisiana?

Workers’ comp is like a game in which the early moves you make can change the outcome in the end. That’s another reason to talk to a lawyer.

You could need all of this and more for a successful workers’ comp claim:

Medical evidence describing your injury
Documentation of what happened when your injury occurred
Records of conditions in your job
Numerous legal documents for sharing information between you and the workers’ comp insurance company
Arrangements for a workers’ comp trial before a judge or a mediation session
Testimony from doctors and other health care workers about your injury

When you’re trying to recover from an injury on the job, filing for workers’ comp in Louisiana can seem like a whole other job.

What Should I Get with Workers' Comp Benefits in Louisiana?

Under the Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Act, when you’re an employee hurt at work in our state, you are entitled to these benefits:

Payment for a portion of your lost wages
Medical care for your injury
Reimbursement for expenses related to your care
Payment for reduced earnings after your injury

You should begin receiving your benefits quickly. Medical care should start immediately. Lost wages payments shouldn’t take longer than two weeks.

That is part of the deal that workers’ compensation strikes between workers and employers: you get fast help when you’re injured on the job. In exchange, your employer doesn’t get sued.

Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. It gets complicated when the insurance company and employer try to save money.

They might grant some but not all of your benefits.

They might be late in sending your weekly payments.

They might try to rush you back to work and stop your benefits before you’re ready.

A workers’ compensation lawyer can handle all of these situations and more.
