What Constitutes Full Justice in a Workers Compensation Claim?

Posted by James Aspell | Jan 26, 2023 | 0 Comments

Full justice in a workers' compensation settlement refers to a situation where an injured worker receives all the benefits and compensation they are entitled to under the law. This includes medical expenses, lost wages, and other benefits such as rehabilitation and vocational training.

One important aspect of full justice is ensuring that the injured worker receives prompt and appropriate medical treatment. This means that the employer or their insurance company should not delay or deny payment for necessary medical care, including surgeries, physical therapy, and medication.

Another important aspect of full justice is providing compensation for lost wages. If an injured worker is unable to return to their job due to their injury, they should be compensated for their lost income. This may include temporary disability payments, permanent disability payments, and vocational rehabilitation services.

Finally, full justice in a workers' compensation settlement also includes ensuring that the injured worker is not penalized for seeking benefits. The employer or their insurance company should not retaliate against the worker for filing a claim or taking legal action to obtain the benefits they are entitled to.
