What the AI assistant can help with
- Explain what workers' comp usually pays: medical care, part of lost wages and permanent impairment benefits
- Explain that every state sets a deadline to report the injury to your employer and a separate one to file a claim
- Walk through what a denial letter means and how the appeal process usually works
- Explain when a claim outside workers' comp may exist, for example against a third party who caused the injury
- Point you to settlement ranges by body part from public data
When to talk to a lawyer
The assistant gives general legal information. It does not represent you, and it does not decide what you should do in your own case. Talk to a lawyer if:
- Your claim was denied, or benefits were cut off
- You are offered a lump-sum settlement that would close your medical benefits
- You have a permanent injury or cannot return to your old job
- Someone other than your employer may have caused the injury
What a lawyer costs: Workers' comp lawyers usually offer a free consultation. Their fees are set differently from injury cases: capped by state law and usually approved by a judge or the workers' comp board, so you do not pay out of pocket.

Questions people ask
Can I sue my employer for a work injury?
In most cases workers' comp is the only remedy against your employer, in exchange for benefits without proving fault. There are exceptions in some states, and a separate claim is often possible against a third party such as an equipment maker or another company's driver.
