Workers' Compensation Attorney in Detroit

Workers’ compensation is designed to provide employees with the resources they need to recover from a work-related injury, illness, or condition. 

Here are a couple of things you should know about workers’ compensation in Michigan:

• Workers’ compensation isn’t usually paid out by the state. Instead, employers are either self-insured or they purchase private insurance.
• Your employer may choose which doctor you see during the first 28 days of treatment.
• If you lose wages for more than seven days in a row, you can start getting benefits on the eight day. If you lose wages for two consecutive weeks, you’re entitled to be paid for the first week as well.

Although compensation can’t undo your injury, it can make the recovery process easier on you and your family. If the insurance company denies your claim, however, then things might become even more stressful.

The best course of action is to hire a lawyer to help you fight back against the insurance companies. Appealing a claim involves filing a petition with the workers’ compensation appeals board, which leads to a hearing. Morgan & Morgan’s experienced workers’ compensation attorneys can walk you through the process and build the strongest case possible to fight for full and fair compensation.
