Workers’ Compensation Lawyers in Glasgow, KY
For over 3 decades, Gillenwater & Hampton has proudly helped the workers of Kentucky get the compensation they need when problems strike. Worker’s compensation, by definition, provides people with medical or wage benefits if they sustain an injury on the job.
The law is in place to protect both workers and employees from problems, but the system is far from foolproof. Learn more about how our team can help you navigate this process and what exactly is covered below.
Am I eligible for workers’ compensation?
If you are injured on the job, on your employer’s property or at an employer event, you are eligible for workers’ compensation. This also includes injuries that are less acute (like a fall or equipment failure) such as exposure to dangerous conditions that, over time, hurt you. The only exceptions to these rules would be if you get injured while explicitly breaking employer rules or while under the influence of a substance.
Do I need a lawyer for my case?
While some cases can be open and shut, other workers’ compensation claims might be more in-depth. No matter what happens, there is sure to be a great deal of paperwork needed, as well as specific, tight deadlines that must be met. With the team from Gillenwater & Hampton in your corner, you can take a back seat and let us handle all the details while you focus on getting better.
