Know why insurance claims are denied and how workers’ compensation lawyers can help to get that claim back.
When an employee becomes sick or is injured at work, they become eligible to obtain the life-saving aid offered by California’s workers’ comp system. Offering quick and competitive pay is intended to assist workers in healing and rejoining the workforce again with the same designation and dignity. But the procedure isn’t always simple, and salaried employees might have their claims rejected for several different reasons. The difficult burden of navigating a sometimes complicated and perplexing appeals procedure awaits the worker when a claim is refused. This is where Gaylord & Nantais Attorneys at Law will prove to be your best legal support. Each state handles appeals in a somewhat different way. Generally, you will need to file an appeal form with the workers’ compensation appeal board and then appear at a hearing to provide evidence supporting your claim eligibility for benefits.

Most Common Causes of Construction Worker Injuries
Construction work in Maryland and throughout the country is extremely dangerous. Although safety precautions — most of which are required under the law — can prevent most types of severe construction work injuries, accidents continue to occur on construction sites, and workers get hurt. The construction industry has one of the highest rates of worker deaths among all industries, meaning that fatal workplace injuries occur more frequently in construction jobs than in many other types of employment. Indeed, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that about 20 percent of all deadly workplace accidents happen in the construction industry. Beyond fatal injuries, construction workers can also sustain serious yet nonfatal injuries on the job, and those nonfatal injuries can result in permanent disabilities, depending on the type of accident. What are some of the most common causes of construction worker injuries in Maryland? Our Maryland workers’…

Stakeholderism Crosses Legal Lines
Aneil Kovvali, Stakeholderism Silo Busting, 90 U. Chi. L. Rev. 203 (2023). Brett McDonnell Those who, like me, spend much of their time focused on corporate law know that over the past decade or so there has been a serious re-examination of the traditional American understanding that corporate directors and officers should focus exclusively on advancing the interests of their shareholders. Many in the field will also be aware of a related debate over the conventional consensus that securities regulation should focus on protecting financial investors. Fewer corporate law scholars, though, may have paid as much attention to questioning within antitrust law of the focus on protecting consumers or within bankruptcy law on protecting creditors. And fewer still will have pondered the connections between the debates going on within these separate though related fields. Aneil Kovvali explores those connections in his recent article, Stakeholderism Silo Busting. In corporate law,…

These may include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other disorders.

What to Know About Consent as a Defense to Sexual Assault Charges in New Jersey
Sexual assault is a very serious criminal offense. In New Jersey, it is a felony offense that carries significant prison time. Any person facing a sexual assault charge is innocent until proven guilty. A charge can be defended—including on the grounds that assault is given. In this article, our Jersey City sex crimes defense lawyer provides an overview of the key points to know about consent as a defense to sexual assault charges in New Jersey. Consent is a Complete Defense to Sexual Assault in New Jersey In New Jersey, the law recognizes consent as a full defense against the charge of sexual assault. In other words, if both parties involved in a sexual act have willingly and knowingly agreed to participate, the act cannot be considered sexual assault under the law.

Is Montana a Right-to-Work State?
Understand your rights under Montana law after an injury at work What does it mean to say a state is a right-to-work state? Saying a state is a “right-to-work” state means that the state has laws preventing employers and unions from requiring employees to pay union dues or join a union or as a condition of getting or keeping a job. Essentially, workers in these states have the choice to support or join a union, but it’s not mandatory for employment. Is Montana a right-to-work state? No, Montana is not a right-to-work state. Here’s an analogy: Think of a union like a sports team. In a right-to-work state, only some players contribute financially (by paying dues) to the team (union). In a non-right-to-work state (Montana), all players on the team (workplace) contribute, allowing for a potentially stronger team (union) that can negotiate better benefits for all players (workers).

Workers Compensation Eligibility With PTSD
Workplace injuries entitle most employees to workers’ compensation benefits to cover the costs of any injuries or other damage they suffered as a result of the injury.

How Can Driver Fatigue Affect My Illinois Truck Accident Claim?
Like all vehicle crashes, truck accidents can be the result of several different factors: a part malfunction, speeding, drunk driving, road conditions, and more. One factor that is quite common in truck accidents is known as driver fatigue. People whose job it is to deliver goods to various locations and are paid based on the number of deliveries they make have an interest in making as many deliveries as possible. It can encourage a lack of sufficient self-care and a failure to sleep enough to be safely well-rested on the roads. There are federal rules and regulations in place to limit the number of hours a truck driver is legally allowed to drive before a required break, based on the understanding that such breaks are necessary for safe driving. If you were hit by a truck, an experienced Bloomington, IL personal injury lawyer can review the case and investigate whether driver fatigue may have played a role.

Defense Base Act 101: where did it come from, why do we have it, what does it cover, and how does one qualify for a claim?
This article is intended to be a brief overview of the Defense Base Act (“DBA”) law. For more information on the DBA, please visit the Department of Labor website here. Before the Defense Base Act, there was only the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), a federal law passed in 1927 that provides for the payment of compensation, medical care, and vocational rehabilitation services to employees disabled from on-the-job injuries that occur on the navigable waters of the United States, or in areas customarily used in the loading, unloading, repairing, or building of a vessel. The LHWCA covers employees in traditional maritime occupations such as longshore workers, ship-repairers, shipbuilders or ship-breakers, and harbor construction workers. The Defense Base Act (DBA) is essentially an extension of the Longshore Act and is a federal law enacted in 1941 by Congress with its primary goal being to cover workers on military bases outside of the…
