What the HR person at your workplace won’t tell you is that the workers’ compensation company does NOT have your best interests in mind. Instead, the insurance company that provides workers’ compensation protection does so because it has interests in collecting premiums from companies with the hopes that the company will never have to file an actual workers’ compensation claim in the future.

Not much different from regular health insurance process, is it? As long as you are not hurt or sick, insurance companies get rich and everyone’s happy. Or so it seems. Until a hard working person like you actually gets injured as a result of an accident at work, and then the “real fun” begins. You file a workers’ compensation claim by filing out an incident report, get medically treated and then find out if you will be able to go back to work or not. If the injury is serious enough, the emergency room doctor and any follow up doctors you see will most likely recommend you take some time off from work. Then the claim is denied and this time off eats into your personal sick time, which you’ve worked hard to earn. Then what?
