Helping You Understand How To Maximize Your Workers’ Comp Benefits

At Matheson and Horowitz, we are committed to helping workers who have been injured on the job. These individuals are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits and deserve to receive the maximum compensation for their losses.

Types Of Benefits Available

There are a variety of different types of workers’ compensation–related benefits available, such as:

• Medical benefits: As a result of the injury you suffered at work, your employer is expected to provide an authorized doctor and specialists, when needed, who can comprehensively address your medical needs. In addition, if you are in need of hospitalization, medications, medical tests and other support, your employer’s insurer is responsible for providing for these, as well.
• Lost wages: You are entitled to all or at least a portion of your lost wages from the time you were out of work due to your injury. However, the amount of money, the frequency of payments and the length of time you receive payments vary based on your specific situation and whether you have:
  • Temporary total disability
  • Temporary partial disability
  • Impairment income benefits
  • Permanent total disability
• Death benefits: Unfortunately, a work injury can lead to the death of the injured worker. If the death occurs within one year of the date of the accident or five years from the date that the continuous disability was noted, the surviving family members may be entitled to monetary benefits.
