Northville Workers' Compensation Lost Wages Attorney
Michigan Workers' Comp Lost Wage Claim Lawyer
Generally speaking, workers' compensation benefits provide financial resources in the form of reimbursement of lost wages and medical benefits. Generally, the worker's lost wages benefits are equal to 80 percent of the after-tax value of his or her weekly wages. This calculation is subject to certain minimum and maximum limits.
If a worker returns to a lower-paying job but continues to be affected by the work-related injury, he or she may be entitled to wage loss benefits equal to 80 percent of the difference between the wages earned at the date of the injury and the wages of the new job.
At The Corriveau Law Firm, our Northville and Ann Arbor workers' compensation lost wages lawyers have extensive experience representing injured workers in disputes with workers' compensation insurance companies over the amount due for lost wages. Since 1976, our family-owned and -operated law firm has provided sound legal counsel to clients throughout southeastern Michigan.
Lost Wages and Workers' Compensation Disputes
In workers' compensation claims based on aggravation of a pre-existing medical condition or development of a long-term illness, disputes may arise over the date the injury occurred.
In other cases, disputes over lost wage claims may occur if the workers' compensation insurance company terminates lost wage benefits before the worker is cleared to return to work.
In serious injury cases where workers negotiate lump-sum settlements, the calculation of total lost wages is another possible area of conflict.
Injured workers should seek legal representation from local attorneys who understand the complex workers' compensation system. At Corriveau Law, we have helped hundreds of injured workers and their families get the lost wages benefits they are entitled to.
In workers' compensation cases, our fees are set by law as a percentage of the amount of money we are able to secure for you. If we are unsuccessful, then we receive no attorney fees.
