Understanding Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Bolivia

An injured worker is typically eligible to claim workers’ compensation benefits for any work-related injury or illness. As long as their medical condition was acquired through performing their job duties, it is typically covered. There are some exceptions, however. For example, if you were working while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and injured yourself, it would likely disqualify you from claiming workers’ compensation benefits.

If you are eligible to file a claim, your attorney can verify that the insurance company handles your claim in good faith and delivers a fair settlement offer. If you are successful, you can expect full coverage of all medical expenses related to your work injury, including the cost of future rehabilitative care if needed. You can also receive disability benefits for the time you are unable to work, and each payment will be equal to a percentage of your usual weekly income.

It’s possible for an injured worker to have their claim denied unfairly, and they will need an attorney’s help to resolve any such issue with an insurance carrier. It is also possible for an injured worker to have grounds for a personal injury suit against a third party who caused their injury at work. While they may not be able to sue their employer, if a third party injured them, it could form grounds for a third-party personal injury suit that may yield more compensation.

If you or a loved one has been hurt while working in any industry in Bolivia, trust our team to lead you through the workers’ compensation claim process and help you secure the benefits you need to recover.

FAQs

Q: How Much Can I Receive in Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Bolivia?

A: The amount you can receive in workers’ compensation benefits in Bolivia will depend on several factors. A successful workers’ compensation case typically yields full medical expense coverage along with disability benefits paid according to your normal weekly income. It is also possible to qualify for partial disability benefits if you can still work but cannot earn your usual income. Your attorney can ensure you receive a fair determination of benefits.

Q: Can I Sue My Employer for a Workplace Injury in Bolivia?

A: You typically cannot sue your employer for a workplace injury in Bolivia if they have workers’ compensation insurance. This insurance is meant to protect both employees and employers; while the insurance provides benefits to injured workers that can help them recover, it protects covered employers from civil liability for their injured workers’ damages. There are exceptions to this, such as an employer forcing a worker to do a task certain to cause an injury.

Q: What Happens if a Third Party Caused My Work Injury in Bolivia?

A: If a third party caused your work injury in Bolivia, you may not only qualify to file a workers’ compensation claim through your employer because the injury occurred at work but also have grounds to file a personal injury suit against the at-fault third party. Success with this claim could yield compensation for damages that workers’ compensation benefits will not cover, such as your pain and suffering.

Q: Why Do I Need to Hire a Bolivia Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?

A: You need to hire a Bolivia workers’ compensation lawyer to ensure the greatest chance of success with your claim.

Having trusted legal counsel on your side greatly improves your chances of reaching a positive outcome in your case.
