If you have been injured on the job, you may believe, and your employer may claim, that your only recourse is through Workers' Compensation. While it is important to begin preparing early to bring a successful Workers' Compensation claim as soon as possible after the workplace injury, it is also important not to rule out the possibility that you may have a valid personal injury lawsuit on your hands.

What is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ Compensation is a legal system created to help you if you are injured at work or if you develop a health condition as a result of your job. Our legal team has also represented the families who lost a loved one due to a work-related accident or work-related illness. We can help your family, too.

Workers’ Compensation law in Oklahoma states that all employers with three or more employees must have a Workers’ Compensation policy that provides for weekly payments to cover loss of earning, medical bills, and rehabilitation of anyone hurt at work.

According to Oklahoma Workers’ Compensation Law, the injury must be reported within 30 days, and if your employer does not acknowledge your injury, there are steps for you to take. This thirty-day requirement should not be confused with filing a claim for benefits with the Workers’ Compensation Court. If you don’t file a claim within two years, you will likely be prohibited from every filing a claim for that injury.

Keep in mind that the more serious the injury is the more complex the Workers’ Comp claim will be.

Your employer, according to Oklahoma Workers’ Compensation law, is required to pay:

Weekly benefits while you cannot work
Medical expenses
Other benefits that are applicable

Regardless of who is at fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your on-the-job injury, and you should actually receive two-thirds of your wages while you’re unable to work. In some cases, you may sue a third party who contributed to your injury.
