Trusted
Workers’ Compensation Advocacy
At The Price Law Firm, my focus is 100% on helping my clients in the workforce get financial compensation for their on-the-job injuries. My services include helping you find your way through Louisiana’s workers’ compensation system. I will investigate whether there are third parties responsible for your injuries and protect your right to file a personal injury claim to hold them accountable. I am also here to assist those of you who have been injured in a car accident. If you are a victim of negligence then I will hold them accountable.
On The Level
With You From Day One
When you are suffering from injuries, you need straight talk from those around you. You need honest assessments about your healing process from your doctor, and you need truth from your support team, including your lawyer. For two decades, I have been providing injured workers with clear evaluations of the likelihood of success for their claims, even when the truth is hard.
Drawing from valuable experience working for law firms on the other side of the issue, I have helped Louisiana workers navigate through the complicated workers’ compensation system to get the full financial benefits provided by the law.
Depending on the nature of your injuries, you may qualify for temporary partial disability benefits and temporary or permanent total disability in the amount of 66% of your wages for up to 520 weeks. Louisiana’s workers’ compensation covers a full range of physical injuries and several types of mental suffering.
When you call, you will speak to me. When you hire The Price Law Firm, you will get Brad Price as your attorney.
Workers’
Compensation Requirements
Most Louisiana employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance to pay for your medical expenses when you are injured at work. You also have a right to permanent or temporary disability benefits until you can safely get back to your job. In exchange for these benefits, you cannot bring a lawsuit against your employer for your workplace injuries, and your employer cannot sue you.
There are time restrictions to file a claim, and there are financial limits for workers’ compensation benefits. You will need to give your employer the notice of your injury within 30 days from the date of your injury. If you do not give the notice, you may not be able to collect financial compensation. Your employer’s insurance company must make workers’ compensation benefits payments within one year of your accident at work. The workers’ compensation system and the various exemptions in Louisiana can be difficult to navigate on your own without the help of an experienced advocate.
Your employer may be exempt from workers’ compensation requirements. If you are an employee working for a private residence, farm or nonprofit organization, or if you are a miner, real estate broker, musician or performer, you may have to seek remedies in court for your injuries. Longshoremen, seamen and cruise industry workers may qualify for compensation through the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, the Jones Act or the Federal Employers’ Liability Act.
