Workers' Compensation Benefits

Serving Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

In Oklahoma, workers' compensation is administered by the Oklahoma Workers' Compensation Court, which reviews claims for compensation and determines the liability of employers and insurers. Experienced Oklahoma workers' compensation lawyer James Self can help ensure you and your family receive the full benefits you're due when you've been injured on the job.

Workers' compensation benefits may include:

• Compensation and benefits while you are unable to work
• Compensation for temporary or permanent disability
• Death-related benefits and expenses for dependents
• Medical expenses
• Money for emotional or psychological injury
• Vocational rehabilitation

Your individual benefits are based on the type of injury, level of impairment and the associated benefits as allowed by law. If your on-the-job injury involved a third party (such as in a car accident), was caused by the negligence of someone who is not a coworker or was due to a defective workplace product, you may be entitled to additional compensation outside of workers' compensation.

It's critical to act quickly if you've been injured on the job and are seeking workers' compensation benefits. You should seek medical attention immediately after an on-the-job injury, and you should notify your employer of work-related injuries as soon as possible.
