Work Accidents in Maine

The circumstances of a workplace accident in Maine determine a victim’s options; however, this is frequently a stressful, highly frustrating situation for the injured worker (provided that they are an employee rather than an independent contractor). In addition to any civil winnings you may be able to obtain, the employer may be subject to criminal charges and sanctions. Regardless of the details surrounding your accident, it is highly recommended that you seek the advice of an attorney, as they may possess the necessary knowledge to access the employer’s assets to satisfy a judgment or decree.

What’s more, your employer is obligated to disclose your work-related injury to the Workers’ Compensation Board and the workers’ compensation insurance company within fourteen days of being informed of the injury. The insurer will ascertain whether or not any medical treatment or lost wages at work that are associated with your injury will be reimbursed.
