However, as with any job, employees must face the fact that there are risks involved in all jobs that could result in a workplace injury. Typically, the injuries a Walmart worker suffers are minor and can be easily treated by their doctor or a local urgent care facility. However, there are other instances when the injuries suffered are substantial and result in severe injuries to the person who was simply trying to do their job, earn a living, and provide for their family. Fortunately, when these worst-case Walmart workplace injury incidents occur, the employee can turn to the California worker’s comp program for assistance in covering the cost of their medical care and lost wages.

If you or a loved one recently suffered an on the job injury while you were working at Walmart, please know that the staff at Kenmore Law Group is here to help you get the benefits you need to ensure you do not face a mountain of debt and hardships because you were hurt while performing your job at Walmart.

Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Am I Covered By California Worker’s Compensation?
Even when a workplace injury is relatively minor, the victim is often filled with worry and stress about the cost of medical treatment and facing issues due to missed work and lost wages. Sadly, many community members live from paycheck to paycheck due to the high cost of everything these days. Missing even a day or two of work will cause financial issues that could take months to overcome. Fortunately, all employees of Walmart and almost all employers in the state are covered by the insurance program known as worker’s comp, even though they never have to pay for this service.

The worker’s compensation program is one that all employers are legally obligated to participate in to provide coverage for their employees. This program is all that allows many workplace injury victims to make it through their missed work and pay their medical bills after suffering a workplace injury. Victims should also know that while their employer pays for their coverage, neither the company nor its staff can prevent a workplace injury victim from filing a worker’s comp claim. In addition, they cannot punish a worker who used the program for a legitimate injury suffered while on the job. If you have questions about your worker’s comp coverage or issues with threats from a boss or supervisor when using the program, please contact Kenmore Law Group today.

What Does Worker’s Comp Provide If I Get Hurt While Working At Walmart?
All employees in the state receive the same worker’s comp coverage, regardless of their job or the company that employs them. The focus of the program is ensuring that a worker who is hurt on the job gets the necessary medical care to make a complete recovery without facing excessive medical debt. The program provides up to $1M in medical care coverage per injury accident. These funds can be used to cover everything from the cost of a hospital stay or surgery to essential medical devices, prescription medication, or rehabilitation for the injuries suffered at your workplace.

If the victim suffers severe injuries and cannot return to work immediately, the program will also compensate up to 66% of the employee’s regular weekly income. This money can be used as the victim chooses to cover daily living and household expenses in place of their regular weekly paycheck. If the injuries result in a permanent loss of capability to work or limitations that limit the victim’s future earning potential, the program offers disability payments to supplement the victim’s earnings long-term. Finally, if the injuries sustained at Walmart prevent the employee from ever returning to their current position, they can seek free vocational training from the worker’s comp program to prepare for a new career after completing their recovery process.

When Can I Sue Walmart For My Workplace Injuries?
Victims of workplace injuries are rarely permitted to file a personal injury lawsuit against their employer. Instead, the compensation they can seek after being hurt while on the job is limited to the benefits provided by the worker’s comp program. This protection is of great benefit to employers, who once faced many personal injury lawsuits filed by workers who suffered an injury while on the clock.

The only time an injured employee is permitted to file a claim against their employer for a workplace injury is when gross negligence is involved in the incident. Gross negligence is defined as a disregard for the safety of workers. For example, an employee of Walmart might be able to sue the company for an injury that was caused when they were hurt due to the failure of a damaged piece of equipment. While this might happen as a genuine unforeseeable accident in most cases, it would be considered possible gross negligence if the staff had repeatedly reported the damage to the equipment and asked the management to have it repaired, but management failed to take action and have the device repaired or removed from service.

If you feel gross negligence was a factor in your Walmart workplace injuries, please reach out to Kenmore Law Group today to discuss the case with a personal injury expert.

How Long Do I Have To File A Claim?
If you are pursuing a worker’s comp claim after a workplace injury incident at Walmart, you have 30 days from the date of the injuries to open the claim with the program. If the case is not opened in that time, you lose the right to seek benefits from worker’s comp for the injuries and losses caused by that workplace injury incident. Filing a personal injury lawsuit must be completed within 2 years of the date of the injuries, or you will lose the opportunity to seek compensation for a case involving gross negligence.

No Upfront Legal Fees
When you work with Kenmore Law Group, there is never any stress from upfront legal fees and expenses. Our firm only gets paid after you get paid and have the compensation needed to cover legal costs and other expenses. This ensures all victims have access to the legal services needed to get the help and compensation they deserve. Finally, you owe Kenmore Law Group nothing if we fail to win your case and get you the compensation needed to cover your legal expenses.

Please keep in mind that there are time limits involved that are non-negotiable. Do not hesitate to reach out to the Kenmore Law Group staff today to ensure you understand how long you have to make choices about a lawsuit or Walmart workplace injury worker’s compensation claim to assist you in covering your expenses before it is too late to receive this assistance.
