What Benefits are you Entitled to?

In most cases, when a worker is injured on the job, he or she is entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits. In Alexandria, these benefits can be claimed when one or more of the following situations arise:
  1. An employee is diagnosed with an illness due to workplace toxins
  2. A repetitive stress condition such as carpal tunnel develops
  3. An accident happens either off-site or at the normal place of business

You are not required to prove that your employer was negligent in order to be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. If you are able to show that your injury is job-related you can be entitled to all or some of the following:
  • Full coverage of medical expenses: You should have 100% of all medical treatment costs covered for the care you require due to your workplace accident or illness.
  • Temporary disability benefits: If your injury or illness causes you to miss days of work, then you should receive partial lost wages based on your earnings before you were disabled (up to maximum state limits). In some cases, you may be able to work but not at the same job or not as often. When this occurs, you can receive partial benefits to compensate for the reduction in your earning potential.
  • Permanent disability benefits: When you have reached maximum medical improvement or your temporary disability benefits have ended, then you may qualify for permanent disability benefits if your illness or injury continues to persist. Permanent benefits may be paid for both full and partial disabilities.
  • Death benefits: Dependents whose loved ones were killed at work or due to a workplace illness may receive Louisiana workers compensation death benefits through workers’ compensation.

About Alexandria

alexandria la lavis law firm

The city of Alexandria is located in Rapides Parish, in the central area of Louisiana. In many ways, this urban settlement acts as a crossroads for the state. Since its formation, Alexandria has been a valuable hub of trade in Louisiana, overseeing both the transportation of goods and the manufacturing of commodities that bolster the state’s economy.

Just as many cities and towns in the state benefit from the proximity of the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico, Alexandria was founded on the banks of the Red River and has flourished as a result of this waterway. While the Red River’s importance has since been eclipsed by the Mississippi, it did allow Alexandria’s earlier inhabitants to prosper financially, and create the framework for industrial success in the region.

Manufacturing is one of the most significant pillars of the economy here. The types of goods manufactured have varied since the city’s inception, but the current forerunners are generic metals, industrial machines, and other mechanical equipment (notably, the Alexandria-based company UTLX produces railroad cars and other products). Agriculture also has a significant economic presence in the city’s economy; the metro area and outlying expanses are home to farms that cultivate a number of cash crops, including sugar and cotton.

At present, the most visible industries in Alexandria are rooted in the booming hospital/medical field and education. Rapides Regional Medical center is based in the city; this hospital, in addition to several others, provides the majority of non-manufacturing, non-industrial employment positions for the city’s inhabitants. Similarly, the presence of Louisiana State University-Alexandria (which recently began offering baccalaureate degrees) not only allows residents to acquire higher degrees and vary their career options but offers an increasing number of jobs as the campus continues to grow.

Clearly, the city has benefited from industrial diversity; the city is not solely dependent upon the success of its manufacturing sector, but also relies on the more specialized medical and education fields. Our area is rife with career opportunities for its residents, who continue to make immense contributions to Louisiana’s economy.
