Workers' Compensation

Contact Demerath Law to find an Omaha Worker's Compensation Lawyer.

When you're hurt on the job, you suffer a great deal. You have the pain and discomfort of your injuries. You have to miss work and lose money. You worry about doctors' bills, x-rays, and other laboratory bills. Moreover, you realize that you're not the only victim. You worry about your family's money situation. Can your family afford for you to be out of work? Worker's comp is designed to alleviate these concerns, but in practice it's rarely that simple.

Worker's compensation law is fraught with complexities and difficulties. Oftentimes, an employer has either a written or "under the table" agreement with a certain doctor or medical office. These physicians and medical personnel have an incentive to make you appear less injured than you may actually be. After all, if the company doctor says that you're not injured, the worker's compensation insurance company saves money, and the employer's premium doesn't increase. Don't get caught in this unscrupulous relationship. If you've been injured on the job, contact a Nebraska worker's compensation lawyer to fight for your case.

It is important to remember that you are an employee of the employer, not its servant. Under workers compensation laws, you have the right to choose your own competent doctor. You're doctor will be independent, unlike those company doctors. You also have the right to protect yourself from any possible retaliation from the employer.
