Receive the Benefits You Deserve After a Workplace Accident
If you have been injured on the job or during the course of your employment, you may be eligible to file a workers' compensation claim. Workers' compensation is designed to aid injured workers in the recovery process by providing benefits for medical treatment and lost wages. Filing for benefits is not always easy and having an experienced lawyer is important.
The first step after a workplace injury is to notify your employer and get the medical treatment you need. Do not talk with an insurance company, however, until you have consulted with an attorney.
At Murphy Law Firm LLC, in Baton Rouge, we work hard to obtain the workers' compensation benefits that our clients deserve after on-the-job accidents. With more than 28 years of combined legal experience, we will work to protect your rights and ensure that you are not a victim twice.

Anyone who is injured during the course of his or her employment may be eligible for workers' compensation. When an accident occurs, it is the responsibility of the employer or their insurance company to pay the medical bills and expenses of the injured employees. Lost wage benefits, of up to 66 2/3% of the average weekly wage, may also be awarded to injured workers.
In some cases, it may also be possible to pursue personal injury claims, in addition to workers' compensation benefits. In a construction accident, for instance, a defective ladder may cause injuries that will prevent the employee from returning to work. In such a case, the ladder manufacturer may be liable in a separate lawsuit, even if the employer is also paying out workers' compensation benefits.
Our firm will thoroughly review your accident to determine all sources of compensation and pursue the maximum benefits that you deserve for your injuries and expenses.
