Do You Want to Make Sure You’re Getting Everything Available to You?
Many Louisiana workers’ don’t understand what they’re entitled to receive when they’re hurt on the job.
If this happens to you, workers’ compensation benefits could provide all of this:
- Payment for two-thirds of your lost wages
- Medical care for your injury at no cost to you
- Reimbursement for related expenses, such as transportation to medical appointments
- Payment for reduced earnings after your injury
When you’re hurting physically and financially from a job injury, these benefits help you turn things around.
But workers’ comp gets complicated, and employers and insurance companies may try to block you from receiving everything you should.
For example, did you know that the workers’ comp insurance company may be required not just to reimburse you for mileage when you go to the doctor but to actually provide your transportation?
A workers’ compensation lawyer understands how to get you the maximum benefits covered under workers’ comp.
In Metairie, New Orleans, Hammond, the Northshore, Baton Rouge, Houma, Lafayette, Alexandria, Shreveport, Monroe, or anywhere else in Louisiana, after you’re hurt at work, talk to Workers’ Compensation, LLC.

Can I Get a Lump Sum Settlement from a Workers’ Comp Claim?
Many workers’ comp claims end with a cash payment. If you get a settlement, you get a final check, and the insurance company gets to close its file on you.
Settlement decisions are complicated. You should know:
- Settlements are not required or guaranteed.
- You shouldn’t accept the first amount the insurance company offers.
- Settlements usually happen once you’ve received most of the medical care you’ll need because of your injury.
- A settlement won’t provide lifelong financial security.
- The settlement decision is about your being ready to move on from your workers’ comp benefits.
- Settlements are final.
Settlements require negotiating with insurance companies. Workers’ compensation lawyers have the training and experience needed for a successful process.
