WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

466715871-workersComOur workers’ compensation system is a ‘no-fault’ system. This means if you are injured at work or while being engaged in your work, you are entitled to compensation for that injury. Once accepted, you are entitled to medical benefits and monetary benefits. This means you can get the treatment you need and be paid a portion of your salary for the time you are unable to work. Once your work injury has reached a state of what’s termed ‘maximal medical improvement’, you will be entitled to permanent disability depending how severely your injury affects your ability to work. It’s a complicated system and difficult to navigate. You really do need an experienced attorney to help you get the maximum benefits you are entitled too.

You are bankrupt if you can’t pay your debts as they become due, or if your assets are less then your liabilities. Many people who have gone through bankruptcy are grateful they had that option, They rebuilt their credit over time, they’ve been able to purchase houses and cars, and in general, keep a handle on their finances.

Medical bills from no insurance or not enough insurance are the number one cause of people filing for bankruptcy. Other common reasons are the loss of a job and the inability to find a new one. A major life event such as divorce, death or being a caretaker also are common reasons people have to file. There is life after bankruptcy. And many times, getting rid of the weight around your neck from your debt, is just what you need to get your life back and on track.
