How Indiana Workers’ Compensation Works

Indiana workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. You generally do not have to prove your employer was negligent, only that your injury arose out of and in the course of your employment. The tradeoff is that workers’ comp is usually your exclusive remedy against your employer, which makes handling the claim correctly especially important.

Covered benefits typically include medical treatment, wage replacement while you recover, often around two-thirds of your average weekly wage, and permanent disability benefits if your injury causes lasting impairment. Death benefits may be available to surviving family members in fatal cases.

Critical Indiana Deadlines You Cannot Miss

Indiana workers’ comp has two separate timelines, and both matter. You should give your employer written notice of the injury as soon as possible, and no later than 30 days after it happens. Reporting the same day is safest. Filing a formal claim with the Indiana Worker’s Compensation Board is a separate deadline, generally within two years of the injury. Missing either one can jeopardize your benefits, so it is wise to speak with an attorney early.

On-the-Job Injuries in Sellersburg, IN

Sellersburg sits along Interstate 65 in Clark County, Indiana, a growing community of more than 10,000 people just about 15 minutes north of Louisville. With its location along Interstate 65, the area supports warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, construction, and trucking, all industries that carry real risk. We help workers injured in falls, machinery accidents, repetitive-stress and overexertion injuries, vehicle accidents on the job, and exposure to harmful conditions. Our team knows the local employers and industries and the Indiana claims process.

When You May Have a Claim Beyond Workers’ Comp

Workers’ comp does not pay for pain and suffering, and it is usually your only claim against your employer. But if a third party, such as a negligent driver, a property owner, or the maker of defective equipment, contributed to your injury, you may also have a separate personal injury claim. Those claims can provide compensation that workers’ comp does not. We evaluate every angle so you do not leave money on the table.
