If you have suffered a work injury there are certain things you need to do to protect your rights: promptly report your injury to your employer, request medical care for your injury if necessary, and file a timely claim for your injury. Sometimes workers are not sure if their injury or medical condition is work-related due to the nature of the injury or illness. In either case, it is important to take action to protect your rights under the law. This is especially true if your employer has already denied your injury claim or has failed to provide you with required forms or notices.

Some common work injuries include:

 

-Back and neck injuries

-Head and brain injuries

-Knee, foot and ankle injuries

-Hand and wrist injuries

-Shoulder and arm injuries

-Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

-Internal  injuries

-Neurological injuries

-Death and dependency claims

 

          DO YOU NEED LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR YOUR CLAIM?

 

 

 

 

 

   Having access to quality legal representation is one important way for an injured worker to protect his or her rights. The workers’ compensation system is very complex and burdensome, full of rules and procedures that can affect your benefits if you make one mistake. You don’t have to go through the process alone! Having an experienced legal representative by your side to help you every step of the way will give you the best opportunity to receive all workers’ compensation benefits available to you under the law.

   It can be very stressful and frustrating dealing with claims adjusters, insurance companies and even your employer’s Human Resources Department, especially when you are already dealing with the effects of a work injury. One thing you should understand is that your employer’s insurance company and its representatives want to limit the amount of compensation it has to pay on your claim, and it will use the system to do just that, which means you will have to fight for your right to receive proper benefits, get your medical bills paid, and protect your right to future medical care for your injury.
