Future Medical Benefits and General Medical Benefits
Oklahoma law provides for medical benefits to be given to the injured worker for present medical issues and possible future medical issues (like anticipated surgery or rehabilitation) that are deemed “reasonable and necessary.” These benefits allow a worker to be treated for injuries that incurred were as result of performing duties within employment. Choosing the right attorney to handle your Workers Compensation case is essential-while Oklahoma statutes provide you protection and benefits, you or your representative can bargain away these rights in an mishandled agreement with the employer. Call M.K. Bailey Law Offices today to make sure you are not signing away rights.

• Right to reimbursement for all medical treatment that is deemed necessary and reasonable as a result of the on-the-job injury
• Ongoing medical expenses associated with the injury
• Future medical expenses

• Temporary Disability Benefits if you are unable to work for more than three calendar days – this calculation of the amount of benefits is highly dependent on each individual case and has a number of factors for this determination – Contact M.K.
