Navigating  Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

If you find yourself in position to make a workers’ compensation claim, you have been injured on the job. This is a serious situation as it means you may not be able to return to work in the future. For this reason, your financial situation could take a hit.

You don’t want to do anything that will complicate your workers’ compensation claim. Instead, you should do whatever it takes to stay the course. This will allow you to receive benefits without delay.

Workers Compensation Do’s and Don’ts

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is failing to report your work injury or illness as soon as it happens. If you neglect to do this, the workers’ compensation carrier may argue that the injury or illness happened outside of work.

Here is something else to think about: You should never listen to what your employer has to say. Your company does not want their workers’ compensation insurance rates to increase. For this reason, they may try to talk you out of making a claim.

When it comes to your injury, you need to seek timely medical treatment. Not only does this improve your chance of an approved claim, but it will also benefit you from a medical perspective.
