Workers’ Compensation

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. Mr. MacKay has also represented families who lost a loved one due to a work-related accident or work-related illness. He can help your family, too.

The Workers’ Compensation laws define your rights after a workplace injury. You should be aware that insurance adjusters tend to interpret these laws not to protect you but to protect their companies.

If you have been injured while on the job, regardless of who is at fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your on-the-job injury. It is important to know what your rights are. You are entitled to receive two-thirds of your weekly wages while you’re unable to work. In some cases, you may sue a third party who contributed to your injury.

If you have been injured on the job, you may believe, and your employer may claim, that your only option is through Workers' Compensation. It is important to begin preparing early to bring a successful Workers' Compensation claim after the workplace injury. It is also important not to rule out the possibility that you may have a valid claim against someone other than your employer.
