Steps To Take After A Work Injury

When you sustain a work injury, you’ll need to report it as soon as possible. Generally speaking, your employer should cover all medical expenses related to your injury.

However, there are many cases where employers may not want to pay you the full benefits that you’re due, resulting in conflict. Consider contacting a workers’ compensation attorney if:

• Your employer denies your claim
• You aren’t being paid benefits promptly
• The settlement offer from your employer is too low to cover your medical expenses
• Your injuries prevent you from returning to work or limit the work you can do
• Your employer has retaliated against you in some way in response to you filing a claim
• You were injured in a body part which had a preexisting injury or condition
• Your injury occurred on the job, but was caused by a third party’s negligent actions

In less clear-cut cases, it is often beneficial to work with a lawyer to get assistance with your claim.
