Scheynost Law Offices

The Kentucky Workers Compensation Law provides coverage for almost all physical injuries sustained at work. This includes long-term ailments brought on by repeated motion, such as degenerative disc disease and carpal tunnel syndrome. Damages brought on by the normal aging process being accelerated by the job are also addressed. Additionally covered are wounds brought on by exposure to asbestos, coal dust, or chemicals. If a physical injury is present, coverage may also be available for psychiatric injuries.

At Scheynost Law Offices, we know all the benefits you can get, and gaining the benefits you are entitled to requires that you understand your rights. If you were harmed at work in Kentucky, you might be eligible for compensation for lost income, medical costs, a permanent disability payment, and training for alternative jobs. You might not even be aware of the benefits you are losing out on without a lawyer.

We have fought for over 20 years to get those benefits for workers injured in Kentucky. We have earned them many large compensations for various work-related injuries. These include low back injuries that cause herniated discs, cervical injuries for ruptured discs, shoulder injuries for torn rotator cuffs, knee injuries for torn cartilages, complex regional pain syndrome, and many other injuries.

Concerns related to the cost of workers’ compensation claims are a constant for employers and their insurance providers. They make every effort to keep those prices as low as they can. They typically don’t represent the interests of an injured worker. In Kentucky, they typically won’t tell you that you have the freedom to choose the doctor who will treat you and are not required to visit the business physician.

As a final point, we will only begin representing parties in a case if a written agreement has been signed. Call us.
