A lawyer is especially important in cases involving home healthcare workers’ injuries because all parties tend to disclaim liability in these cases. Many home healthcare workers are characterized as independent contractors, which means that they may not technically be eligible for workers’ compensation, assuming the classification is appropriate. In other cases, the employer may not have properly followed state rules with respect to the employment of home healthcare workers. When the patient employs you directly, the situation can become even more complex, as many people may not even be aware of their legal duties with respect to employing an in-home aide. Our lawyers will wade through all of these complexities and put in the work necessary to help you navigate the complex legal issues surrounding your right to compensation following an injury on the job.
