If you are injured in a workplace accident you may be able to receive compensation for you injuries. However, the process you will need to go through, as well as the amount and type of compensation that you will be able to get will depend on many factors. The most important factor being, whether or not your employer is a subscriber to workers’ compensation or not. This article will explain:

What workers’ compensation is and how it will affect your work injury case,
What a non-subscriber case is, and
How we can help you in your work injury cases.

What is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a program that enables employers to be shielded from liability when one of their employees is injured on the job. Before workers’ comp, every time an employee was injured on the job, they could sue their employer to receive compensation for their injuries. Now, instead of filing suit, if an employer is a subscriber to workers’ compensation, then the employee will receive certain benefits that will compensate them for their injuries. It is good for the employers, because they will no longer need to defend lawsuits from their employees. It is also good for employees because they will not have to wait and sue their employers before they are able to receive compensation and seek medical treatment for their injuries.

When an employee is injured on the job, they are able to receive compensation for their medical bills as well as compensation for a portion of their lost wages, which they incurred as a result of being unable to work due to their injuries. However, an employer is not forced to subscribe to workers’ compensation.

What is a Non-Subscriber Case?

A non-subscriber is a person who opts out of subscribing to workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation does cost a good deal of money, and a lot of times, smaller companies with fewer employees do not subscribe because they feel it is not worth the money. If your employer is a non-subscriber and you are injured on the job, the only way you can receive compensation for your injuries is by bringing a work injury lawsuit against your employer.

In order to be successful, you will need to show that your employer was somehow negligent, and that his negligence led your injuries. However, if you are able to do this, then you will be able to obtain a greater amount of compensation then you would have in a workers’ compensation case. You would be able to receive compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages, like pain and suffering and mental anguish.
