What kinds of injuries are eligible for compensation?

According to the Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Act, almost all injuries that occur at the workplace and cause mental or physical harm are eligible for compensation.

What is an injury or an occupational disease?

The Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Act defines an accident as any unexpected or unforeseen actual and identifiable event that happened suddenly or violently. This includes injuries that occurred with or without human fault.

Incidents must directly produce an injury which is more than simply gradual deterioration or progressive degeneration. Occupational diseases are those which occurred because of the conditions characteristic of a particular work environment, process, or occupation.

Do I need to prove that the employer was at-fault?

Generally, you won’t have to prove that an employer was at-fault in order to seek compensation. The claim is enough.
