What To Do When You’re Hurt at Work

Workers’ compensation is a difficult area of the law. Without knowing how to answer these questions—and the many more that will follow—you can easily make a mistake that could jeopardize your ability to file a claim and collect benefits should you need them.

Here is a checklist of the basic steps you should follow after being hurt on the job.

1. Report Your Injury

Report your injury to your supervisor as soon as possible after your accident.

2. Get a Copy of the Report

Make sure your injury report is filled out, and request a copy for your records.

3. Request Treatment

If you need to see a doctor as a result of your work injury, tell your employer.

4. Be Thorough in Describing Your Injury

Our firm is small by design, and every case gets worked on by our entire team. That means every client gets the attention, help, and dedication their case deserves.

5. Keep All Appointments and Follow All Medical Treatment

Missing Appointments with the company doctor or ignoring medical advice can result in your benefits being terminated.

6. Make Sure You Are Receiving Your Benefits

If the doctor determines that you are unable to work, you should be entitled to temporary total disability benefits.

7. Know When to Contact an Attorney

If you feel you are being denied any benefits, or are pressured into giving a statement or settling your claim, do not wait to contact The Hines & Wilson Law Firm at 573-443-4500.
