Hilfreiche Einblicke in Bezug auf arbeitsbedingte Verletzungen und Krankheiten<\/h2>\n

Angesichts der Zeit, die der durchschnittliche berufst\u00e4tige Erwachsene am Arbeitsplatz oder bei der Aus\u00fcbung seiner beruflichen Pflichten verbringt, ist es kein Wunder, dass 2010 allein in der Privatwirtschaft mehr als drei Millionen nicht t\u00f6dliche Krankheiten und Verletzungen zu beklagen waren (laut Statistiken des Amt f\u00fcr Arbeitsstatistik<\/a>). Gl\u00fccklicherweise k\u00f6nnen verletzte Arbeiter abgedeckt werden workers’ compensation<\/a>, which offers benefits for lost earnings and medical expenses for work-related injuries and occupational diseases. You can learn more about workers’ comp by reviewing the frequently asked questions included below:<\/p>\n

What is workers’ compensation?<\/h3>\n

Workers’ compensation is a system wherein employers are required to cover, or provide insurance that covers, medical expenses and lost earnings for employees’ work-related injuries and illnesses.<\/p>\n

Muss ich beweisen, dass jemand anderes meine Verletzungen verursacht hat?<\/h3>\n

One of the main advantages of workers’ compensation is that the injured worker does not need to prove that someone else was at fault for his or her injuries. The only requirement is that the injury is related to the worker’s job duties or occurred at work.<\/p>\n

Was ist eine Berufskrankheit? Woher wei\u00df ich, ob meine Krankheit abgedeckt ist?<\/h3>\n

An occupational disease is a medical condition caused by the victim’s place of employment or job duties. Some examples may include Mesotheliom<\/a> verursacht durch Asbestbelastung<\/a> in Produktionsanlagen, schwarze Lunge in Kohlebergwerken und Bleivergiftung bei Arbeitern, die mit Blei oder Bleiverbindungen umgehen.<\/p>\n

Welche Arten von Arbeitsunf\u00e4llen gibt es?<\/h3>\n

St\u00fcrze sind eine der h\u00e4ufigsten Arten von Arbeitsunf\u00e4llen. Allein im Jahr 2010 wurden 208.470 F\u00e4lle gemeldet (laut Bureau of Labor Statistics). Andere h\u00e4ufige Vorf\u00e4lle sind ausrutschen und hinfallen<\/a> Unf\u00e4lle, Autounf\u00e4lle, Verletzungen durch herabfallende Gegenst\u00e4nde und Unf\u00e4lle, die durch schwere Maschinen, Werkzeuge oder Ger\u00e4te verursacht werden.<\/p>\n

Wird meine Verletzung abgedeckt, auch wenn ich verantwortlich war?<\/h3>\n

Your on-the-job injury should be covered by workers’ compensation even if you were responsible, as long as you did not act intentionally to cause harm or were not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.<\/p>\n

Am I entitled to workers’ comp benefits if I lost a loved one in an on-the-job accident?<\/h3>\n

Families of workers who have lost their lives in work-related accidents or from occupational diseases may be entitled to benefits for funeral costs and lost earnings. This compensation can make a significant difference in a family’s ability to face a more stable financial future.<\/p>\n

Was soll ich tun, wenn ich mich bei der Arbeit verletzt habe?<\/h3>\n

If you have been injured at work, make sure you inform your manager or supervisor right away. Seek medical treatment (except in emergency situations, you must obtain treatment from a medical provider authorized by the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board). You must also inform your employer, in writing, of what occurred. If you wait too long to tell your employer, you may lose the right to workers’ comp benefits. You will need to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, which you can do on your own or with the help of an attorney. You may find it helpful to involve an attorney early in the process, as filing a claim and seeking benefits can be complex.<\/p>\n

Muss ich einen Anwalt beauftragen, um meine Forderung zu bearbeiten?<\/h3>\n

You are not required to hire an attorney to handle your workers’ compensation claim. However, filing a claim and securing fair benefits can be difficult, particularly if your employer or the workers’ comp insurance company tries to deny that your injuries are work-related. An attorney can ensure your rights are protected, can help expedite the process by properly filing your claim and can help if any issues should arise, such as a denial.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
