The workers’ compensation system is designed to aid workers who get hurt or fall ill while working within the scope of their employment. It is a type of insurance held by employers to compensate employees when they suffer work-related injuries. The Oklahoma Workers’ Compensation Commission (OWCC) presides over benefits for injured workers. injured worker metal steps Unlike personal injury cases, workers' comp is a no-fault system; neither you nor your employer is liable for the injuries you sustain. In spite of this, employers often try to shirk responsibility, and OWCC does deny or underpay valid claims. By law, all employers in Oklahoma are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance coverage. But, even though employer coverage is mandatory in Oklahoma, make no mistake: Applying for benefits is not an easy process. To get the full benefits you deserve, you need an experienced work comp lawyer in your corner. Benefits under Workers' Comp The benefits to which you are entitled will depend on the extent and severity of your injury. The workers’ compensation system in Oklahoma makes the following benefits available: Medical treatment: Employers are required to provide “reasonable and necessary medical treatment” through their workers' compensation insurance carrier. Temporary partial disability (TPD): Replaces the difference in wages between what a worker earns for his or her regular job while on restrictions and what the worker would be receiving if they were TTD. Temporary total disability (TTD): Covers a portion of wages for workers who are completely unable to work, at the direction of an approved treating physician, while recovering from an injury. Benefits are time-limited for injuries such as hernias and soft tissue damage. Permanent partial disability (PPD): Compensates a worker for the permanent disability they have sustained, because of their on-the-job injury, at the end of a case. Permanent total disability (PTD): Compensates workers who are unable to work at all as a result of an on-the-job injury. Vocational rehabilitation: Workers who quality for PPD benefits may be eligible for vocational training to place them back into the workforce. Continuing medical maintenance (CMM): Workers who are permanently partially disabled may qualify for ongoing compensation, at the recommendation of their doctor. injuries by occupation In the event that a worker dies on the job, spouses and dependent children may be eligible for death benefits through workers’ compensation. A surviving spouse can receive 70% of the loved one’s weekly wage and $100,000 lump sum. Surviving spouses and children are eligible for a lump-sum $25,000 payment, and each child is eligible for 15% of the weekly wage (or state average wage, if it’s lower).

Read more about Workers' Comp Claims in our Blog » What to Do after a Workplace Injury in Oklahoma Preserving the integrity of your claim begins the moment you get hurt. Workers' comp claims are subject to very strict rules and deadlines that you must follow in order to receive the full benefits you deserve. When you get hurt at work, here are the steps you must take: Report the injury to your employer: Notify your employer ASAP that you’ve been hurt. Some employers maintain tight deadlines for reporting an accident, and failure to follow internal protocols could result in the company disputing your benefits claim. Complete an incident report as soon as you can. Seek medical attention: When you report a work injury, you need to kindly demand to see a medical professional. Get the care you need from this specified provider only. Going to a doctor of your own choosing could result in denial of your workers’ compensation claim. Give the doctor a good history: The appointment with the doctor is your opportunity to get the type and extent of your injury on record. Tell the doctor all about your symptoms, limitations you’re facing, and actions that exacerbate the injury. A comprehensive medical record that documents your injury is one of the best assets in a workers’ comp claim. When you follow these steps, you enhance the strength of your claim for benefits. Your employer also has responsibilities at this time.
