The workers compensation law is a no-fault system, and it provides a variety of benefits to you when you are injured or disabled as the result of a work-related accident regardless of whether the injury occurred as a result of negligence. These benefits include medical coverage, disability benefits, and reimbursement for loss of work due to the accident. These benefits are calculated by plugging your weekly compensation rate into various mathematical formulas to arrive at the benefits to which you are entitled. At Potok Law, we are very familiar with rules and formulas that affect your benefits.
