You are entitled to a healthy and safe workspace. If you do sustain any injuries while working, you are entitled to benefits under workers' compensation coverage and you have the right to know the nature of those benefits.

The person or company that you work for is legally required to have workers' compensation insurance coverage. Your employer should give you a claim to fill out if you are injured that you can give to him or her.

There are cases where legitimate workers' compensation claims are denied by a compensation carrier. The insurer might claim that your injury isn't serious enough to make you eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits or that you weren't hurt at all. In these instances, you could lose key benefits, including financial aid, medical coverage, and job retraining.

If you believe that you are being denied workers' compensation benefits that you are legally entitled to and you live in Louisiana, The Berniard Law Firm would like to see if we can help you get through the appeals process.
