Factory and warehouse jobs provide a living for many workers in America’s manufacturing industry. These jobs are vital to commerce in our country and our free enterprise economic system. Everyone in our country earns a living in different ways, but one thing is expected of all places of employment, and that’s safety. Every worker in the United States has the right to a safe and healthy work environment. Although factories and warehouses are a place of work with a greater risk for injury, these workers still need to be cared for and compensated by their companies if they are injured.
If you have suffered a debilitating injury while working in a factory, call the Chicago factory workers compensation attorneys at The Horwitz Law Group to discuss your options when filing for workers’ compensation benefits.
Factory workers are expected to perform frequent heavy lifting and manual labor when they are at work. These activities can be stressful on a person’s body for even the healthiest individuals. Workers’ compensation laws exist to protect those who are injured while at work. It is a no-fault body of law that supports the belief that a person should not suffer financial hardships because of injuries obtained while performing their job tasks.
Back injuries, knee injuries, broken bones and lacerations, burns, and joint injuries are all common traumas in workers’ compensation cases. In some cases, these injuries are attained over time, due to repetitive motion and continuous stress on one area of the body. On the other hand, injuries could be caused in an instant due to a traumatic accident. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your injury, one fact is true and that is the protection you are eligible to receive under workers’ compensation laws. Companies are required to have workers’ compensation insurance to provide for employees who are injured while at work. However, these insurance companies will do everything possible to avoid paying you the full amount you are owed. Before you are interviewed by an insurance company, speak with a Chicago workers’ comp lawyer at The Horwitz Law Group to ensure you are fully compensated for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
