Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Oklahoma City
Most employers in Oklahoma are required to maintain workers’ compensation coverage. This no-fault insurance system provides certain benefits to workers injured within the course and scope of their employment. You do not have to prove your employer was negligent in order to recover workers’ compensation benefits.
Oklahoma workers’ compensation benefits include:
- Medical benefits, which pay all costs for reasonable and necessary medical expenses you incurred due to your workplace injury
- Wage replacement benefits, which pay 70% of your average weekly wage, up to the maximum established by law
- Financial payments for permanent disabilities
- Vocational training and rehabilitation benefits
- Funeral expenses for workers killed on the job
- Death benefits for dependents for workers killed on the job
There are some exceptions to workers’ compensation requirements, such as if you work in certain industries, certain jobs, or for certain types of employers. An experienced Oklahoma City workplace injury lawyer can review your legal claim and explain your rights.
Third-Party Claims
In some cases, someone other than your employer is responsible for your injuries. You may have a claim against another party who caused or contributed to your injuries, such as:
- Business owners
- Property owners
- Dog owners
- Independent contractors
- General contractors
- Product manufacturers
An experienced Oklahoma City workplace injury attorney can investigate your case to determine who is responsible for your injuries.

What Compensation Can I Recover in a Third-Party Claim?
If you step outside the workers’ compensation, you can pursue compensation for the full extent of your economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses from healthcare providers of your choice for emergency care, follow-up visits, specialists, medicine, and pain management
- Lost wages for the full extent of your losses, not a percentage
- Reduced earning capacity if your injuries rendered you permanently disabled or caused you to move to a lower-paying and less-demanding job
- Pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
An experienced Oklahoma City personal injury attorney can carefully review your case to determine the damages available to you.
