Delaware Workers’ Compensation
For many workers in Delaware, suffering an injury on the job makes it difficult, even impossible to perform the tasks expected of them to make a living. Worrying about your health and the future of your family can be overwhelming. If you are unsure who you can turn to after suffering an injury, you can rely on the experienced Delaware Workers’ Compensation lawyers of McCann Dillon Jaffe & Lamb, LLC, to work diligently on your behalf. Workers’ Compensation benefits are intended to help people who have suffered an injury or who have become sick during the course of their job duties. There are several different types of benefits that may be available to you so you do not have to suffer financially. These include medical benefits, lost wages, disability benefits, specific loss benefits and death benefits.
Workers’ Compensation claims are time sensitive, so it is important to not hesitate in reporting your injury or illness to your employer or supervisor. Be sure to have your incident put in writing whether that be an email, letter, accident report form or a signed statement and always keep a copy of this documentation for yourself. Seek medical treatment from a healthcare provider as soon as possible after an accident at work. If your injury warrants it, go to a hospital emergency room.
