Our law firm is here for you when the workers’ comp process gets complicated.
In an ideal world, the workers’ compensation process would be easy for workers to navigate. And sometimes the process is straightforward and an injured worker can handle their own claim.

If this has occurred to you, or you simply need help navigating the workers’ compensation system, McCue Law Office workers’ compensation lawyers are here to be your advocate. Contact us today in Bangor for a free consultation.

  • Help you understand workers’ compensation law and the benefits you may be eligible to receive
  • Draft pleadings, findings, motions, briefs, opinions, and any other legal documents that are necessary for your case
  • Be your advocate through the entire process

TYPES OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION BENEFITS

TEMPORARY TOTAL OR TEMPORARY PARTIAL DISABILITY BENEFITS

Both of these types of benefits are provided to people who are unable to work for a period of time, but are able to eventually return to their full duties. Temporary total means that during the time of your disability, you cannot work at all — for example, a worker with pneumonia who is hospitalized. Temporary partial means that you are able to work part time while you heal, like having a broken arm, but are unable to perform all of your duties.

PERMANENT PARTIAL OR PERMANENT TOTAL DISABILITY BENEFITS

Benefits provided to a worker who has sustained a permanent injury that prevents you from doing the type of work you had done before, such as the loss or paralysis of arms or legs. In Maine, you can continue receiving benefits for as long as you are totally disabled, but if you are partially disabled, the benefits do eventually end.

MEDICAL COVERAGE

Fees for doctor visits, hospital bills, nursing care, medication, physical therapy, and other medical services you may have needed because of the occupational injury or illness.

WAGE REIMBURSEMENT

Workers’ compensation exists to cover wages lost when you are unable to work because of a work-related injury. Filing for workers’ compensation can help you get the financial support you need to cover expenses while injured or sick. Contact McCue Law Office in Bangor to learn more about these and other workers’ comp benefits.

REHABILITATION

In some cases, vocational rehabilitation is available to those who cannot return to the type of work they were doing before the injury or illness. 

DEATH

In the tragic occurrence of a work-related death, workers’ compensation pays survivor benefits to eligible dependents. While you are grieving, you shouldn’t need to stress over lost income. Let one of our workers’ compensation attorneys handle your claim while you heal and support your loved ones.

In the state of Maine, the statute of limitations on workers’ compensation claims is either two or six years. After the two or six years are up, you are no longer able to file a petition against the person or company that caused your injury.

However, in most cases, your workers’ compensation lawyer will be able to help you come to an agreement with your insurance company in order to procure a fair settlement for your injury. In order to understand all of your options after you have been injured at work, contact McCue Law Office in Bangor. We are committed to helping our clients in any way we can, so you can rest assured that your case will be in good hands from beginning to end.
