Recoverable Damages in a Berea Workers’ Compensation Case
In most cases, all employees are covered by a workers’ compensation plan under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act. Employers must ensure all their employees are working in a safe environment.
Most of the unintentional injuries, illnesses, accidents, and deaths victims suffer in workplaces are covered by workers’ compensation laws, except:
- When you deliberately cause damage or an accident through misconduct
- When you intentionally cause injury or death to yourself or another employee
- When you cause an accident or injury while intoxicated with alcohol or other substances
If your injury qualifies you for worker’s comp, some of the damages our workers’ compensation lawyer could help you recover include:
- Funeral expenses, loss of consortium, and other wrongful death damages if your loved one died from an accident or work-related injuries
- Medical costs, including surgeries, hospitalization, lab tests, therapy, and doctors’ fees
- Medical equipment costs, including a walking aid such as crutches and a wheelchair
- Lost wages, now and in the future
- Rehabilitation costs
- Permanent and partial disability
- Survivor benefits for you and your family
What to Do After an Accident or Work-Related Injury
Our workers’ compensation lawyer may require you to document how the injury impacted your life. This is vital as evidence when proving your claim.
Darryl “The Hammer” Isaacs advises you to take the following steps:
Inform Your Employer
For whatever reason you may have suffered from an accident at work or sustained injury, the first step is to inform your employer in writing, if possible.
Seek Medical Attention
Get checked out to ascertain the extent of your injuries. However, some injuries may not be recognized immediately. Medical reports, bills, and related hospital reports come in handy when you file a workers’ compensation claim.
Fill Out the Workers’ Compensation Claim Form
You may get the workers’ compensation form from your employer or local workers’ compensation office. Fill out the employee section and sign accordingly. Keep a copy for later use.
Reach Out to Us
Contact our Berea workers’ compensation lawyer for legal advice and representation. Your employer may be unwilling to cooperate or want to pay you an amount that doesn’t cover all your medical costs. We’ll fight to ensure you recover all the economic and non-economic damages you suffered.

Contingency Fees
At Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers, we provide legal services to our clients without charging upfront fees and costs. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only charge a percentage of the settlement you’ll get after our Berea workers’ compensation lawyer wins your case.
Our legal team understands that you may not be in a position to pay for legal representation at the time of your injury or when you’re recovering, so we put our all into helping you win.
Statute of Limitations in Berea, Kentucky
In Berea, Kentucky,Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1) gives victims of personal injury cases one year to file a lawsuit. However, you or a family member should report the injury or accident immediately if you can, or within 30 days if your injuries require being moved immediately for medical attention, including hospitalization.
Workers’ statutes of limitation often depend on the nature of the claim. You may get more time to file a claim for diseases that take longer to develop, such as cancer caused by repeated exposure. Some circumstances can also allow you to extend the deadline. For example, if the injured person is not of sound mind at the time of injury, the time limit will start counting after a court declares them fit.
Ideally, you should reach out to us as soon as possible—or when the damage is discovered—so that we can file all the relevant documents on your behalf on time.
