Work Comp Attorneys & Work Accident Attorneys of Indiana

Employers in Indiana are required by law to maintain worker's compensation insurance for their employees. This provides workers injured on the job with benefits, regardless of fault. Even if an employee carelessly causes the injury, in most cases that worker is still entitled to workers comp benefits that may include:

• Weekly disability payments until the employee can return to work
• Medical treatment as directed by the employer
• A lump sum settlement if the injury results in any permanent impairment

If you have been injured at work, contact our workers comp attorneys Wagner & Reese for a free initial consultation to learn about your options and your rights.

Handling complex work injuries and third-party claims

Our firm is well equipped to handle even the most complex claims; we also help people recover compensation from third parties (not their employers) who may have contributed to the accident that caused their injury. Not many law firms have the ability to handle both types of cases.

Examples of work injuries, which often result in third-party claims, include:

• Auto accidents caused when another vehicle rear-ends your own vehicle
• Construction site accidents where the general contractor or another subcontractor may have caused your injury
• Injuries in a factory setting that are caused by a defective product
• Slip-and-fall injuries where the employee is injured on the premises of someone other than his or her employer (such as a delivery person who falls on ice while making a delivery)
