WORKER'S COMPENSATION CLAIMS

If you were injured on the job in New Mexico, you maybe eligible to receive Workers’ Compensation benefits. These benefits will pay for lifetime medical care and expenses. If you are unable to return to work, you will receive both temporary and permanent loss of wage benefits. Most claims will provide indemnity benefits for 500 weeks. If you are over 80% permanently disabled you are entitled to benefits for 700 weeks.

Sometimes workers apply for Workers’ Compensation, and their claims, at first, are denied. If this happens to you, don’t give up! You have the right to dispute the decision. Often, the initial decisions are overturned, and you will be able to start receiving all of the medical and indemnity weekly benefits.

The experienced New Mexico Workers’ Compensation attorneys at Sapien Law can help you obtain the maximum benefits under the law, no matter who was at fault for your work accident. If the work accident was someone else’s fault, you may be illegible for additional compensation by filing a separate personal injury claim.

We will guide you through the entire legal process and fight for your rights to get you the benefits you need to relieve the financial and emotional stress that comes with being injured. Our goal is to obtain maximum benefits for you as promptly as possible.
