When you are injured on the job, you have certain rights under the Indiana Worker’s Compensation Statute. Your right to compensation including medical care are dictated by the Indiana Worker’s Compensation Statute. When you are injured on the job, you have a claim against your employer for worker’s compensation benefits. Your claim against the employer falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Indiana Worker’s Compensation Board. This means that you cannot successfully file suit in State Court. You do not have a right to a jury trial. You do not have a claim for pain and suffering as you would have in a regular civil suit involving personal injury.
“Whether it is trying your case or settling your case, my responsibilities are to advise you so that you can make the right decision. Rather than tell you what to do, I strive to give you all options available to you and discuss those options with you so that you can make the best decision that fits your person situation.”
