UNDERSTAND LEGAL TERMS WITHOUT THE HEADACHE
FROM PERSONAL INJURY TO WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Federal Tort Claims Act: If a federal employee’s negligence leads to another person’s injury, illness, or death, then they have the right to compensation from the government due to this act. Settlement Mediation: If two parties cannot reach an agreement, a third party will work with both sides to resolve the dispute and reach a settlement instead of going to court. Temporary Total Disability (TTD): This describes a person’s injury that, although entirely debilitating, is also temporary. Unlike Permanent Disability (PD), they are expected to one day recover fully and be able to return to work.
RASPBERRY AND FIG OAT BARS Cumulative Trauma (CT) Injury: An injury caused not by a single accident but by repeated exposure or events. For example, hearing loss from constant noise. Beneficiary: When an employee passes away due to an injury or illness caused by their job, their surviving spouse, children, or other dependent will receive their benefits. They are considered beneficiaries. Contingency Fee: An agreement where an attorney is only paid if the client wins the case and receives a settlement. Instead of an hourly fee, the lawyer will receive a percentage of the settlement. Legal matters can be intimidating. We get it! No one wants to walk into a law firm and hear endless legal jargon that doesn’t make sense. Our team always works diligently to explain cases as simply as possible so our clients never feel left in the dark. If you’re looking for a quick introduction to legal terminology, then review these go-to terms used in personal injury and workers’ compensation cases: AOE/COE - Arising Out of Employment and in the Course of Employment: AOE/COE defines whether or not an injury or illness was caused due to an employee’s job. To be covered by workers’ compensation, an injury or illness must be AOE/COE.
Tort: An unjust act by a person that led to the injury or harm of another person who now has the right to pursue damages.
