Baton Rouge Workers' Compensation Lawyers

Baton Rouge workers compensation laws require that your and your family are compensated for losses, injuries and deaths that occur in the course of work duties. Your employer or your employer's insurance company is responsible to provide this compensation.

East Baton Rouge workers compensation benefits may include:

• Weekly cash benefits during the times that you are temporarily totally disabled (unable to work).
• Payment of medical expenses related to your injury.
• Weekly or lump sum cash payments for partial or total disability resulting from a work related injury.

If you are injured on the job, remember these points:

1. 1Report the injury immediately to your employer, and insist that it is formally recorded.
2. If a satisfactory agreement cannot be reached with your employer (or their insurance carrier), file your claim with the Industrial Commission.
