One thing that is helpful when you have an injury claim is figuring out how to add a little bit of value to it, when it is not something that is necessarily a car accident. Maybe it is a slip and fall or a work injury.
Workers’ compensation pays you at 67% of what your wages are. So how do you add a little more into your pocket? If you were driving while you were working and were injured in an accident, your no-fault insurance can help. Your no-fault insurance pays you at 85% of what I would normally get, so you can actually have your no-fault insurance step in and pay the difference between the 67% from work comp and the 85% that they normally pay. This way, you get a little extra each week.
In a slip and fall, often there is no wage-loss coverage or anything to help you with it. If you are in a position where you are getting out of your car and you slip and fall on ice while moving to close your car door, you could bring a no-fault claim in addition to the premises liability claim.
Those are two easy ways to add a little value to a personal injury claim that is not a car accident and are examples of how we examine every case to see what more we can do for you.
