The South Dakota workers' compensation laws treat a workplace injury differently than other types of personal injury. If you have been injured at work, your only way to recover for your losses is through a workers' compensation claim. Furthermore, the statute identifies the amount you will receive, based on the specific type of injury.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that your injuries are obvious and all you need to do is fill out a form to recover for your workplace injury. The process for filing a workers' compensation claim is complex and can be confusing. Your claim can be challenged on many grounds. Your employer may argue that the injury was not work-related or that it was a condition that you had before you started your employment. Your claim may be granted, but with work restrictions that make it hard to get hired anywhere else.
When you have been injured on the job, you may feel frightened and frustrated. You want to go back to work, but fear you may never be able to go back. You worry that you may lose your job or be reassigned when you return. We understand your concerns. At the Christensen Law Offices, our entire staff is committed to easing your anxiety and providing a safe place where you know your interests are being protected. We want to help you make good decisions based on knowledge and understanding, not on fear.
