:: Workers Compensation

When injured on the job, there are some important things you must know and do. You should know that you have time limitations in giving your employer notice of your injury and in filing your claim. Many times an employee will lose his rights because he is unaware of the notice and filing requirements. You should notify your employer as soon as you are aware of the on the job injury.

Seek medical treatment immediately. It is crucial to your claim that you have a proper evaluation and documentation of your condition. You should know that in many workers compensation claims a third party (someone other than your employer) may be responsible for your injury. This allows you to file both a workers compensation claim and a third party claim for the same injury. Having the right medical paperwork will make this process run smoothly.
