Being injured on the job can have a profoundly negative effect upon the victim. You face hospital time, doctor visits, perhaps a permanent physical condition due to a work injury. You watch your savings go down the drain as you try to survive being out of work. Becoming injured at work can result from many causes, including an accident, exposure to excessive noise, an unsafe working environment due to negligence, and many other conditions.
Workers’ compensation was established to protect employees who have sustained work-related injuries. Generally, the benefits cover medical expenses and wage loss. If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a work-related accident, pursuing your claim quickly is crucial as there is a limited time frame within which to file a claim.
In addition, obtaining medical attention as soon as possible is important not only for your health but also to document the full extent of your injury and have it counted as a work injury.
While you may be able to pursue workers’ compensation on your own, having an experienced advisor to ensure that matters are handled fairly is a significant benefit.
