What is a Benefit?
A benefit in personal injury law refers to financial assistance from an employer, insurer, or social program during sickness, disability, or unemployment. Examples of personal injury benefits can include financial compensation for lost wages or direct payment for medical procedures. Indirectly, benefits ensure that negligent parties are held responsible and encourage safer practices to prevent future injuries.
When discussing personal injury law, the American Bar Association (ABA) states, “Personal injury law allows an injured person to go to civil court and get a legal remedy for all losses stemming from an accident…” Benefits are one of the previously mentioned remedies for the injury that has occurred, to restore the injured person to the position they were in before the injury occurred, as much as possible, mainly when this occurs while working.
For example, if Jane slips on a wet floor and bangs her head while at work, her company is liable, and they would likely pay her medical bills. The coverage of her medical bills is a benefit Jane would receive from the company. As benefits help those injured, understanding it is essential for anyone navigating a personal injury claim, as they provide those injured with a way of restoring their lives.
