A personal injury attorney must prove four elements in a personal injury case in order to be successful. Those include: a duty of care was owed to the plaintiff, the defendant didn't act responsibly; the defendant's action was the main cause of the injury and the plaintiff had losses related to the injuries.

When discussing your workman's compensation claim with counsel, feel free to ask questions. The more information you have about the process, the more you can help resolve your case, and get the benefits you deserve.

You can apply for SSDI benefits online at www.socialsecurity.gov/disability, or by calling the toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213. When you first contact Social Security, a representative will set an appointment for you to apply for disability, either by phone or at the Social Security office nearest you.

The "injury related to work or occurring at the workplace" component of workman's compensation law may receive broad interpretation. An Illinois court upheld the claim of an employee injured while body-slamming a break-area vending machine to dislodge a snack because the employer knew the machine was faulty but did not repair it.

Legally, your employer is probably required by state law to inform you of your workers' comp coverage. This notice is usually in the form of a poster, displayed in an easy-to-access area, like a break room.
