Indiana Workers Compensation Attorneys

All 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. In other words, even if employees carelessly causes their own injury, in most cases they are still entitled to work comp benefits. These benefits include weekly disability payments until the employee can return to work, medical treatment as directed by the employer, and a lump sum settlement if the injury results in any permanent impairment. If you have been injured at work, contact Wagner Reese & Crossen for a free initial consultation to learn about your options and your rights.

Injuries happen in every industry

Injuries such as these occur in a wide range of businesses and job types. We have helped people who work in industries such as:

• Construction
• Farming
• Trucking
• Shipping
• Manufacturing
• Corrections

Handling complex work injuries and third-party claims

Injuries in these areas can be catastrophic, leading to long-term disability or permanent impairment. 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—work injury and third party liability. For instance, if you are a truck driver injured when another truck rear ends your rig, we can help you get work comp benefits and recover from the insurance company for the other driver.

Other examples of work injuries which often result in third party claims include 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; and 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).
