Workers’ Compensation and Construction Accidents

Answer:

The workers’ compensation system in Oklahoma has gone through some changes in the last several years. It’s a more difficult system to be fully compensated. It still provides medical treatment. It’ll still provide lost wages. It’ll still provide permanent impairment. It’ll still supply total permanently impairment. It’s not a perfect system. It doesn’t compensate you as well as it used to, but it’s all we have, and for a lot of people, it turned out to be a good thing. Workers’ compensation is there to help workers who are injured on the job to be able to get medical treatment and receive a fair wage for the time they’re off while they’re seeking medical treatment. It is a system that you definitely need to hire a lawyer for. Because it’s not something the average person can do on their own.
