When an employee has been injured on the job, it can be challenging to obtain compensation for the injuries sustained. In Michigan, laws have been established to help an employee obtain the medical care they require and the ability to receive payment of lost wages while they recover from their injuries. However, according to the law, workers give up the right to sue their employer for payment of their lost wages and medical care to treat their injuries if the worker waits too long. While this seems fair to both the employer and employee, over the years the benefits have changed making it difficult for workers to obtain reimbursement for their injuries. A Workers Compensation Agency is a vital resource when trying to obtain medical care and financial reimbursement that resulted from the accident at work.
