If
you believe that you have an injury from work , your employer carries Worker’s Compensation Insurance
so that you can receive treatment. Worker’s Compensation
has specific rules to follow and it is meant to protect
the injured worker.
If
you believe you have an injury, tell your immediate supervisor
or manager so that you can seek treatment. The
sooner you receive treatment, the better.
If
your injury is approved as a work injury, you will bear
no out-of-pocket expense to receive treatment. In addition, you are allowed to miss time from work (although
it is unpaid, or paid with sick leave), to receive treatment. The goal of my treatment is to get you back to work as soon
as possible. This
will guarantee you the best possible outcome.
