Detroit Workers’ Comp Attorneys

Goodman Acker P.C.: Representing Injured Workers - (248) 793-2010

Workers’ compensation, sometimes referred to as "workers’ comp," is the name given to a system of laws meant to protect injured workers. Laws passed by the state require that your employer, or your employer's insurance company, compensate you or your family for injuries or death that may occur while you are working.

Under Michigan law, you may be entitled to:

• Weekly benefits while you are temporarily disabled and unable to work
• Payment of your medical expenses
• Weekly payments or a lump sum payment for partial or total disability resulting from a work related injury

Employees injured on the job and denied workers comp may be entitled to file a lawsuit to collect compensation. Goodman Acker P.C. can help you if you need workers’ compensation after being injured on the job. Just like the many other hard-working individuals we have helped take action to recover compensation, we can also help you get the payments you have earned and deserve.

Injured? Here’s What You Should Do Next.

If you were injured on the job, you should report the accident immediately to your employer. Failure to do so may result in not being able to collect workers compensation benefits in Michigan. If your employer or insurance carrier refuses to pay you the benefits or medical expense payments you are entitled to, or you are denied extended or permanent disability after suffering a significant disabling injury on the job, it is in your best interest to consult with an attorney that handles workers compensation cases on a regular basis.
