Workers' Compensation

The Michigan Workers’ Compensation Act passed by the state requires your employer, or your employer’s insurance, to compensate you or your family for injuries or death that may occur as a result of a work related injury. You may be entitled to:

• Payment of medical, surgical & prescription expenses.
  
  
• Rehabilitation expenses for your care & recovery, together with vocational retraining, if necessary.
  
  
• Weekly wage loss payments if your disability results in your inability to work.

What should I do if I am injured?

You should report the injury immediately to your employer and seek the appropriate medical treatment. If benefits are not paid, you should file a claim with the workers’ compensation bureau.

If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call Goidosik, Morse & VanDeusen PLC toll free by dialing (800) 968-5566. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
