Helping You Through Complex Work Comp Issues
When you are injured in an accident on the job, you deserve workers' compensation benefits. In many cases, your employer's workers' compensation insurer will deny that your injury was job-related and attempt to deny your claim. Furthermore, the workers' compensation system itself is complex, and even filing a claim can be very difficult. A lawyer experienced with on-the-job injuries can protect your interests, guide you through the system and work to obtain the settlement you deserve.
When you come to my Oklahoma City law office, Gary G. Prochaska, PC, you will find the help you need and deserve. If you have suffered a workers' compensation-related injury, I will be there every step of the way, from the initial filing all the way through any appeals of denied claims. You may be afraid to report a job-related injury to your employer for fear of losing your job, particularly in these tough economic times. Remember that the law protects you from a retaliatory firing for pursuing a claim.
Understanding Your Rights and the System
In Oklahoma, workers' compensation is calculated as 70% of your weekly wage. There are limits on the amount of compensation you can receive, however. Regardless of your current income, the maximum benefit you can receive is $683 per week. I work hard to ensure that the calculations are performed correctly and that you receive the proper level of benefits.
Many people are concerned about being able to see the doctor of their choice after an injury. You will likely need to select a doctor from a panel offered by your employer for an initial consultation, but you have the right to seek a second opinion from your own physician.
