When employers handle the process correctly, workers’ compensation claims are simple. Employees who are injured in the workplace should immediately notify employers of the situation so they can be directed to medical treatment. Employers have the right to choose a medical provider if desired, and you will notify them of the situation to include in the medical diagnosis. After your injury or illness is evaluated, the claim will be submitted to workers’ comp insurance.
Most employers follow these regulations but there are cases where injured workers are expected to remain silent. If your employer is refusing to acknowledge workers’ compensation claims, seek legal consultation and get compensation for your injuries.
