What is Workers' Compensation?

The Workers' Compensation system is designed to compensate employees who have been injured on the job, without regard to fault. If you have been injured in the course of your employment and require medical treatment or must miss work as a result, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits.

Workers' compensation will pay all reasonable and necessary medical treatments resulting from a workplace injury. You may also be entitled to income replacement and partial or permanent disability benefits.

A repetitive strain injury (RSI) such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be a compensable on-the-job injury when it is caused or worsened by work activities such as keyboarding and factory assembly work.

Do You Need a Workers' Compensation Attorney?

All too often, Workers' Compensation insurance providers deny or delay payment of benefits for worthy claims.While hiring an attorney will not guarantee that your Workers' Compensation claim is accepted, or that your appeal is approved after a denial, your chances are greatly increased with the help of experienced legal counsel.

An experienced Workers' Compensation attorney can ensure that your claim is properly filed within the statutory guidelines set out in Title 85 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The Oklahoma Workers' Compensation Act is a complex statute filled with exceptions and exclusions. The skilled attorneys at Bower & Bower have successfully resolved hundreds of Workers' Compensation cases, even when benefits were initially denied.

Your initial consultation at Bower & Bower in Oklahoma City is free. Contact a Workers' Comp appeals lawyer through this Web site or by calling (405) 528-0047.
