A workplace injury can change everything in an instant. After suffering injuries to both knees and lower extremities while unloading a furnace on the job, our client turned to HammondTownsend for help navigating the workers’ compensation process.

We successfully negotiated a $145,000 lump sum settlement on the client’s behalf and secured payment for all related medical treatment from the original date of injury through final settlement approval.

If you’ve been injured at work, you don’t have to face the process alone. HammondTownsend is here to fight for the benefits and compensation you deserve. 💼

🚗 Injuries that occur in work parking lots are usually covered. However, there are some exceptions. The general rule is, once you're on the premises, you're covered.

If an injury occurs in the work parking lot due to inclement weather, it is almost always covered. If you're willingly playing in the snow or on the ice, horseplay is NOT covered!

Big box retail workers: if you get hurt on the job, you have rights. ⚠️

Workers’ comp can cover more people than you might think, including part-time and seasonal employees. The process isn’t always straightforward, though, and the system is not designed with you in mind.

Make sure you know what you’re entitled to before you file a claim: https://hammondtownsend.com/blog/coverage/what-big-box-workers-need-to-know-about-workers-compensation/
