Workplace Accidents

Considering the number of hours American employees spend on-the-job, it’s no surprise that workplace accidents are bound to occur. Every year thousands of workers are injured during the course of their work, thus resulting in all types of injuries, occupational diseases and even work-related deaths. If you or someone you love has been injured in a workplace accident, Northern Kentucky personal injury attorney Robert Roper can uphold your legal rights while pursuing maximum compensation from the legally responsible party.

Most Kentucky employees are covered under workers’ compensation insurance which typically covers medical care, rehabilitation services, and physical therapy, and wage losses that were incurred as a result of the injury or occupational disease.

Although you have every right to be fully compensated for any workplace injuries you might have sustained, the insurance company and your employer have a vested interest in keeping their claim as low as possible. In effect, you may not get all the medical care you need, or your benefits may be terminated before you have had the opportunity to fully recover.
