The workers' compensation system is designed to be a quick and hassle-free compensation system to protect anyone who has been injured on the job. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. This system can be highly complex and overwhelming, but the goal is to make sure that somebody who was injured at work receives the appropriate medical attention, gains any lost wages relating to the work injury and receives rehabilitation if necessary.
How To Handle Your Workers' Compensation Injury Case
As an employee, you have the rights to claim workers' compensation benefits to reimburse you for all reasonable and necessary medical treatments resulting form your on-the-job injury.
Immediately notify your supervisor of your injury
If you were injured at work, you should notify your supervisor immediately or within thirty (30) days after your injury. Failure to give notice of your injury may lead your workers' compensation benefits claim to be denied.
Seek medical treatment
Initially, your employer has the right to choose your treating physician. As an injured worker, you have the right to a change of physician. If your recovery time off work exceeds three (3) days, you may be entitled to disability payments.
You may also be entitled to receive compensation as a result of injury causing permanent disability. This is called Permanent Partial Disability. You need an experienced law firm to help you obtain this.
