If you’ve been seriously injured at work, you have the right to file for worker’s compensation benefits immediately. However, expect that this may not be an easy process. To file a claim, you must be able to prove the actual nature of your injuries. You also have to be able to prove that you cannot work for a while until your body heals. Oftentimes, this can cause challenges with getting the workers’ compensation benefits you are entitled.
Being unfamiliar with the administrative processes that go with filing for workers’ compensation can cause difficulties as well. Your employer may give you the run around and try to make you feel responsible for the injury. Additionally, the insurance company may try to convince you that your injury isn’t that serious. You may worry about losing your job. All of these factors can cause you to miss out on full benefits or force you to go back to work too soon.
The worst-case scenario is that you may be denied of any workers’ compensation benefits. It’s important for you to know that the purpose of workers’ compensation is to cover medical expenses and bills for employees who are injured on the job. These expenses can range in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, particularly when an injury takes months to recover. Remember, workers’ comp is there for the benefit of injured employees, not for employers.
