Work Comp for Legal Services Programs - Assisting Injured Workers This program is directed at legal services programs or worker organizations that want to know more about the workers' compensation system. Special emphasis is placed on workers' comp for low income and immigrant workers. The focus is on assisting injured workers who cannot retain an attorney so they might secure medical care or temporary disability.
The program includes substantive information about workers' compensation eligibility and "how to" guidance on topics sucah as filing a claim, getting medical treatement for a workplace injury, etc. It also covers how to incorporate workers' compensation into a legal services program.
This 2 hour program can stand alone or be presented at the same time as the workers' compensation retaliation program described below. Written materials are provided. These include a manual with fact sheets and sample letters as well as a powerpoint.
We can also condense both trainings into a VERY quick-talking 2 1/2 hours.
MATERIALS: For the basic work comp program, we provide a detailed manual with fact sheets, sample letters and a power point presentation which legal services can use for client workshops on workers' compensation. Most importantly, we want to work with your legal services office to design a program to assist injured workers that meets your specific needs.
