What if Workers’ Compensation won’t cover all my bills after an industrial accident in Maine?

If you have suffered an industrial accident in Maine, you are entitled to Workers Compensation which will cover your medical bills and a small amount to replace your lost wages, but you probably won't be getting enough to pay for your mortgage, your car payments, groceries, insurance, etc.

It isn't fair that you should be forced to face this financial hardship for something that wasn't your fault, but Maine law bars getting any more from your employer, even if the accident was caused by another employee.

In these cases there is, however, a chance of making a claim against someone other than your employer who might have had some role in causing the accident. It might have been someone working for another sub on a construction site, or perhaps the manufacturer of a defective machine.

If you have been injured in an occupational accident, you should call Lowry & Associates to see if you can recover additional money over and above Workers Comp.

The BIG Secrets About Maine Injury Claims: What No One Is Telling You About The Process by Don Lowry

If someone you love was killed as a result of a Maine industrial accident, we extend our sincere sympathy and condolences. You may be entitled to death benefits. Lowry & Associate handles many work-related death cases and will always advise clients of their rights in a sympathetic and respectful way. It costs nothing to talk with us.

People often come to us after they have been injured in the workplace looking for answers. Many victims have been denied Workers' Compensation benefits, and do not have alternate insurance to cover medical costs. Some are receiving benefits, but income provided by Workers' Compensation is not enough to pay the bills and provide for adequate costs of living. It will never hurt to give us a call, and you might be entitled to more than you think.

Whatever your situation, we work together to find the solution that is right for you. Call Lowry & Associates today at 888-485-9501 for a free consultation.

When you can't work, our team works for you.

Here are the two options available to victims who have been injured in an industrial accident in Maine:

• Action against your employer. If you have been injured on the job in Maine, except in rare circumstances, your claim against your employer is limited to Workers Compensation benefits.

• A third-party claim. If someone other than your employer, such as a subcontractor on a construction site, an equipment manufacturer or heavy machinery operator, was responsible for your injury, an experienced Maine personal injury lawyer can help you recover damages which may far exceed the benefits provided by Workers Compensation.

"We treat our clients like family" We may be able to advise you on other ways to earn income while recovering from an injury. If your injury is expected to keep you from working for an extended period of time, you may be eligible for Social Security income or other state-sponsored aid.
