Coeur d’Alene Work Injury – Maximizing Your Benefits

An Idaho work injury often leaves the injured worker with medical bills and missed work. Increased bills and lost wages often cause stress about just paying bills.

Thankfully, Idaho workers’ compensation benefits are usually available after an on-the-job injury. Benefits can include medical benefits, lost wages, permanent disability benefits, and retraining.

With work comp, you don’t have to prove that your employer did something wrong. Instead, you only have to show that the accident happened at work. Even though the Idaho work injury system is supposed to be friendly to injured workers, often the work comp insurance carrier will deny a claim.

-Follow up with you the work comp insurance carrier
-Contact an experienced work injury attorney if you are having difficulties

If you want to ensure you are receiving the proper benefits and want to maximize your recovery, you can contact an experienced Idaho work comp lawyer.

Catastrophic Idaho Work Injury Results in Logger’s Death

The Idaho Statesman reported an unfortunate work accident on July 20, 2021, in the Boise National Forest that has cost a logger his life. Trevor Menter, of Council, Idaho, died in a logging accident, when a log struck him in the chest. OSHA investigated the accident and fined Menter’s employer.

David Kearns, director of OSHA’s Boise Area Office said: “Logging is well recognized as one of most dangerous industries out there, which is why it is so critically important that they really follow and ensure folks are following safe work practices.”

In addition to the OSHA fine, Menter’s employer will most likely be responsible to pay Idaho Workers’ Compensation death benefits.
