See If You Qualify
A guide for injured workers

Know what your claim is worth before you settle it.

Most injured workers accept less than they're owed — not because their claim is weak, but because nobody explained the system. Three questions tell you where you stand.

Six things workers' compensation can actually pay for

Most people know about the doctor visits. Far fewer claim everything they're entitled to.

01

Medical care

All of it — not just the ER visit.

Approved treatment for a work injury is covered in full: surgery, hospital stays, physical therapy, prescriptions, medical devices, and follow-up care. You should not be paying deductibles or co-pays for approved work-injury treatment.
02

Temporary disability

A portion of your paycheck while you heal.

If your injury keeps you off work past a short waiting period, most states pay roughly two-thirds of your average weekly wage, tax-free, up to a state cap — including when you can only work reduced hours or light duty.
03

Permanent disability

Compensation for lasting damage.

If you don't fully recover, you may be owed additional compensation based on an impairment rating. Ratings are frequently disputed — a second opinion can change the value of a claim significantly.
04

Vocational rehabilitation

Help returning to work — or retraining.

When an injury prevents you from returning to your old job, many states fund job retraining, education, and placement help. This benefit is rarely volunteered — you usually have to ask.
05

Mileage & expenses

The costs nobody mentions.

Travel to medical appointments, parking, and certain out-of-pocket costs are reimbursable in most states. Small amounts, but they add up over months of treatment — keep every receipt.
06

Death benefits

Support for surviving families.

When a workplace injury or illness is fatal, surviving spouses and dependents may receive burial costs and ongoing wage-replacement benefits. Deadlines still apply — even in grief.

Five mistakes that quietly shrink claims

Insurers don't need to fight your claim if these do the work for them.

i.

Waiting to report

Every state has a notice deadline — some as short as 30 days. Workers who “wait to see if it gets better” hand insurers their easiest reason to deny.

ii.

Downplaying the injury

Telling your doctor “it's not that bad” puts words in your medical record that adjusters will quote back later. Describe symptoms fully and say it happened at work.

iii.

Giving recorded statements

Adjusters are trained to ask questions that shrink claims. You can politely decline to be recorded until your claim has been reviewed by someone on your side.

iv.

Accepting the first offer

First settlement offers routinely undervalue future medical needs and permanent impairment. Once you sign, it's usually final — get it reviewed first, it's free.

v.

Missing appeal windows

A denial letter starts a clock, often 30–90 days. Miss it and even a strong claim can die. Denials are commonly overturned — but only when challenged in time.

Avoid all five.

A free case review catches these mistakes before they cost you.

Questions

Asked and answered

How much does this cost?

Nothing. The qualification check, the match, and the initial consultation are free. Many network attorneys work on contingency — they're paid only if you recover.

Are you attorneys?

No. Claim Your Compensation is a free informational and referral service. We connect you with independent professionals, including attorneys, but we are not a law firm and don't give legal advice.

How much is my claim worth?

It depends on your wages, the severity and permanence of your injury, and your state's benefit schedule. That's exactly what a free consultation establishes — before you accept anything.

My claim was denied. Now what?

Denials are commonly overturned on appeal — but appeal windows are short (often 30–90 days from the denial letter). Get it reviewed immediately.

Can I be fired for filing?

Retaliation for filing a workers' comp claim is illegal in every state. Document everything and tell the professional you're matched with right away.

Does fault matter?

Workers' comp is a no-fault system in nearly all cases. You can generally receive benefits even if the accident was partly your mistake.

What about occupational illness?

Illnesses that develop over time — repetitive strain, hearing loss, chemical exposure — are covered, and their deadlines usually run from diagnosis, not exposure.

Is my information confidential?

Yes. Your details go only to the relevant professionals in our network who can help with your inquiry. See our Privacy Policy.

Three questions stand between you and an answer

Deadlines apply to every workers' compensation claim. The check is free, confidential, and takes two minutes.
