Josh Gets Results for You
Workers’ compensation provides important benefits to help you heal and move forward after an injury, and even support for your family should you lose your life in the line of duty. That may include:
- Wage Replacement to help cover lost income while you recover
- Medical Coverage for the treatment you need
- Rehabilitation Support to get you physically ready to return to work
- Occupational Training if you need to move into a new line of work
Depending on the nature of your injury, workers’ comp benefits may be temporary or long-term. Sometimes injuries are so serious that you are never able to return to work. Regardless of your situation, Josh and his team fight for your rights and ensure you receive the full compensation you need to recover.
Benefits to Help You Heal From PTSD
In Minnesota, workers’ compensation isn’t just to help you heal from physical injuries—it also covers post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by traumatic events you have witnessed on the job. For law enforcement officers and firefighters, who often face some of the most disturbing and stressful situations, PTSD is a very real risk.
When you are exposed to car crashes, violent crimes, or repeated trauma, it can leave lasting effects on your mental health. Common symptoms of PTSD include flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, depression, panic attacks, irritability, and difficulty focusing or handling everyday stress. These symptoms can feel overwhelming, but with the right treatment, recovery is possible.
PTSD can result from:
- Being a direct victim of a traumatic incident
- Witnessing a traumatic event firsthand
- Repeated or extreme exposure to trauma on the job
If you’re struggling with PTSD from your service, you don’t have to face it alone. An experienced workers’ comp attorney, like Josh Borken, helps you file a claim or fight a denial, so you can receive the treatment, time, and support you need to heal and return to your life.
