Belt Law Work Injury
Belt Law Social Security
- Q. My boss is withholding my pay and wanted me to come in the office yesterday to sign a release and take a untaxed check
- A: A great deal more information is needed to properly answer this question. If there is a work injury involved, you will want to talk to a workers' compensation attorney before taking any action. If this is a wage dispute, you will need an employment lawyer that focuses on wage issues. Regardless, signing anything without having it reviewed by an attorney is a bad idea.
- Q. I have a compensation case that medical needs to be settled. I am on Social Security and in need of a lawyer.
- A: This is a question and answer forum where we are not supposed to specifically solicit business. That being said, any poster on this site including my office or any other workers' compensation attorney should be able to assist you with this request. Simply call or email one of the attorney's to make an appointment.
- Q. Am I entitled to my husband workmen’s check? He just passed today. He has several months of checks due.
- A: Workers' compensation pays wage loss and medical bills related to the work injury. Wage loss and medical would end as of the date of death. Therefore, if you are talking about ongoing wage loss benefits, you would not be entitled. If you are talking about past due wage loss, you may be entitled. Similarly if you are talking about an award of specific loss for an amputation or facial scar, you may be entitled. As you can see, this is not a simply yes or no answer. I would suggest that you schedule an appointment with a workers' compensation attorney to discuss the specific facts of your husbands case to obtain a better answer.
