Know Your Workers Compensation Rights

It is important to speak to an attorney regardless if your workers compensation claim has been accepted or denied. In a workers compensation claim it does not matter who was at fault, unless it was a purposeful self inflicted injury. Clients do not receive pain and suffering under workers compensation claims.

All claims are handled in front of a judge, with no jury present. Workers compensation claims are typically handled within a few months of filing the initial claim. The goal in a workers compensation case is to get the very best medical care available for your injury then receive a settlement for compensation.

If you are involved in a work related accident with injuries, here a few things you should do:

• Report your injury to a boss or supervisor no matter how trivial the injury;Do not wait more than 30 days to report your injury to your boss.

• Ask for and get medical care as soon as possible, should any be necessary;Ask if there is a list of doctors for workers’ comp.If so, choose a doctor from the list;If not, make note that no doctor list exists and ask to see your personal doctor.

• If you are unable to go back to work or have injuries that restrict your ability to do the work you did before, give us a call.
