Workers’ Compensation for an Explosion Accident

A fire or explosion at a construction site or industrial facility generally prompts a thorough investigation to determine the cause. However, injured workers do not need to prove their employer was at fault to recover workers’ compensation. In fact, workers who contributed to the accident are still eligible for benefits.

After a workplace explosion or fire, you may be entitled to several types of workers’ compensation benefits. After filing an injury claim, you can receive medical benefits to cover the medical costs associated with your injuries as well as benefits for your lost wages. If you are left disabled and unable to return to work, you are also entitled to short- or long-term disability benefits.

However, recovering the benefits you deserve can be challenging, especially when your injuries are very serious and costly for the insurance carrier. Your employer and their insurance carrier get to choose the doctor you see who will ultimately decide when you are recovered, when and if you can return to work, and the degree of any disability you are left with.

This makes it important to work with an experienced Florida workers’ compensation injury lawyer to be an advocate fighting for you. At WorkInjuryRights.Com™, we have decades of experience representing injured workers in their fight against the for-profit insurance company for the benefits they deserve.
