Workers' Compensation​

 

Skilled and Assertive Attorneys Protecting Midwestern Workers:

​

When you become injured or ill while you are at work, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation. This is true even if the injury or illness occurred outside of your normal job functions. You are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits even in the absence of your employer’s fault or negligence. In fact, even if the injury was your fault, you may still be eligible to compensation.

 

The experienced attorneys at Gibbs Pool and Turner, P.C. help workers get fair compensation for injuries and illnesses sustained in the workplace. Our attorneys help workers seek payment for their workers’ compensation claims, including:

 

  • Compensation for Permanent Disability

  • Dependents’ Recovery for Worker’s Death

  • Lost Wages or Salary

  • Rehabilitation Expenses

  • Retraining Costs

 

We help you pursue any benefits you are entitled to under the law.

​

Waiving Workers’ Compensation

Accepting workers’ compensation limits your rights to other remedies against a negligent employer. A personal injury claim can include compensation for general damages and pain and suffering, whereas a workers’ compensation claim cannot. Our attorneys are skilled at analyzing whether you should waive your workers’ compensation claim and seek recovery for negligence in civil court, and if you should also pursue a negligent third party.
