Summary
What Hialeah is known for is its rich history and vibrant culture of entrepreneurship. With this level of economic activity, the city is full of workers doing their jobs with pride.
Unfortunately, millions of Americans are injured on the job every year. These workplace injuries can leave workers with costly medical bills and missing wages, adding financial difficulties to an already stressful experience.
Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that provides wage replacement and medical benefits for workers who are injured on the job. It’s a no-fault system, meaning neither you nor your employer will take the blame for the accident.
That means you can usually access these benefits without having to go through a stressful and time-consuming lawsuit. You simply inform your employer after your injury, they pass it along to their workers’ compensation insurance provider, and the insurance company covers your medical bills and lost wages.
At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work. Unfortunately, it’s sometimes harder than it should be to get employers and their insurance carriers to approve the benefits you need to keep your bills paid while you’re unable to work.
