Union workers are able to collect the same workers’ compensation packages as non-union workers, however due your union membership you may qualify for additional assistance provided from your union.
If you are an ongoing member in good standing you potentially have earned all the assistance that your union provides. Here at The Pisanchyn Law Firm we want to ensure that you receive not only all the Workers’ Compensation Benefits you are entitled to, but also all the benefits entitled to you from your union membership. Unions have a responsibility to negotiation and confirm agreements that supply different kinds of benefits to its members. Some of these benefits include better financial protection and job-protection than regular Workers’ Compensation provides to you.
Our experienced Workers' Compensation Attorneys will find out what services you are eligible for through your union membership and what needs to be done for you to receive these services. Examples of union assistance include:
- Job Security. Workers' Compensation laws do not require your employer to hold your position while you are out on Workers’ Comp. Depending on your union contract, however, it may be possible to place restrictions on your employer from replacing you during the time of your injury.
- Accident Investigation. Workplace safety records and data about any substances considered dangerous that are used at your place of work can be useful in your WC claim, especially if your claim is denied. Union officials have the legal right to get this information.
We will work with union officials to ensure that you receive all the benefits you are entitled to under your union contract as well as all the benefits you are entitled to under under The Workers’ Compensation Act. Workers' Compensation is a very complex area of law. It is very easy to confused with all the steps in the litigation process when it comes to WC claims. Hiring an experienced attorney in the Workers' Compensation field is the only way to ensure you receive all the benefits you are entitled to. Call us now so we can help you receive your full compensation.
