Any worker injured on the job in Michigan is entitled to
receive payment for their medical bills and 80% of their
average weekly wage. Workers' Compensation is designed to
protect employers from being sued and provide monetary
benefits to the worker who has been injured on the job.
Workers' Compensation benefits include wage loss, medical,
vocational rehabilitation services. Survivors of those who
died on the job may also file for benefits.
Michigan requires that all public employers have workers'
compensation coverage and that private employers must provide
coverage when:
- They consistently employ three or more workers at one time,
- During the preceding 52 weeks, they have regularly employed
at least one worker 35 hours or more per week for 13 weeks or
longer
There are several provisions that apply to sole proprietors,
contractors and subcontractors.
While the majority of workers' claims for benefits are
undisputed, each year almost 20,000 workers in Michigan have
their claims denied by their employer or their employer's
insurance carriers. The Law Firm of Neil A. Davis, PLC can
help you in redemption settlements and disputes. A redemption
settlement is an amount agreed upon by the employer (or
employer's insurance) and the injured worker that is intended
to be a full and complete resolution of workers' compensation
benefits now and in the future. A claim is in dispute when a
worker files a claim and the claim is denied. Once a claim is
disputed, the worker can file a petition to be heard by a
magistrate at the Workers' Compensation Bureau.
