Qualifying for Compensation for Common Workers Compensation Injuries 

In order to qualify to make a claim for common workers’ compensation injuries, you must prove a causal relationship between your job and the medical condition you are claiming compensation for.  According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, an injury or illness qualifies as work-related if it occurred while at work or if your exposure at work led to the development of the condition or the aggravation of a pre-existing condition. 

It is often easy to establish a connection when an incident has occurred at your work site. However, making connections for illnesses that have developed over years is much harder. While proving fault in a workers’ compensation claim, showing this connection is vital for recovering compensation. 

At Lombardi and Lombardi, P.A., we’ve represented workers suffering from a wide range of work-related illnesses and injuries. We have assisted many accident victims to prove that their injuries or illnesses are work-related. We will investigate your case and gather evidence to demonstrate that your medical condition is work-related. We will also explore all options available and ensure that you recover maximum compensation for your injuries. 

There are some circumstances under which workers that were injured at work are not eligible for workers’ compensation. These circumstances include: 

• if the employee was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs when the incident occurred 
• If the employee was engaged in illegal activities
• If the employee disregarded safety rules 
• If the employee disregarded company policies 
• If the injuries were inflicted on the employee by a colleague
