Understanding the Rules of Workers’ Compensation Benefits – What You Can and Cannot Do

October 24, 2023 by Guest Contributor

Worker's Comp InjurySuffering from an injury at work can be a difficult and stressful experience. It not only affects the physical and mental well-being of a person but also can cause a financial burden. If you’ve suffered a work-related injury or a work-related illness, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. However, it’s important to understand the rules and limitations of workers’ compensation benefits to ensure that you receive the proper compensation.

File a Workers’ Compensation Claim as Soon as Possible

One of the most important things you should do when you have suffered a work-related injury or a work-related illness is to file a workers’ compensation claim as soon as possible. Failing to file a claim within the specified time frame can result in the loss of your right to workers’ compensation benefits. After submitting your workers’ compensation claim, your employer should provide you with a list of approved doctors and specialists that you can choose from for evaluation and treatment.

Attend Medical Appointments and Follow Medical Advice

Once you have filed a workers’ compensation claim, it is important to attend all medical appointments and follow medical advice. This not only helps to ensure that you get the appropriate treatment for your injury or illness, but it also helps to validate your claim. If you fail to attend medical appointments or refuse to follow medical advice, you may jeopardize your claim for workers’ compensation benefits.

4 Major Costs of Workplace Injuries to Include in Your Claim

June 21, 2021 by Tim McMahon

Being involved in a workplace injury or accident can be one of the most difficult experiences for a person to go through. Not only is it stressful emotionally and physically but a workplace injury often involves financial hardship as well. Although worker’s compensation claims help to relieve some of that financial hardship, the fact is that your employer and their insurance company are not on your side. Thus the following includes four major costs of job site injuries to make sure that you include within your claim.

Medical Bills

The most obvious recommendation a job site accident lawyer will give you is to make sure that you are seeking medical attention for your injuries. Not only are your medical documents needed to prove the severity of your accident, but your health should always come first before anything else. However, because of the complexity of healthcare, it can be easy to forget to add some major medical costs to your claim.

Dealing With Temporary Disability After a Workplace Injury

March 25, 2020 by Guest Contributor

Since 1970, workplace deaths have been reduced by more than 60%, and occupational injuries have declined by 40%.

Although workplaces are safer than ever before, many jobs still carry a significant risk of injury and even death. After experiencing an injury on the job, many workers become temporarily disabled and unfit to work.

This type of sidelining from the job can cause a number of hardships. Many people find making ends meet difficult, especially if they have families, and mental health is frequently also negatively impacted. Here is a quick guide on strategies that can help you recover faster and get your life back on track.

Mental Health

Understanding why many injured workers slip into depression is easy. Unable to work, with nothing to occupy their time, workers often fall into the trap of repetitive thinking, obsessive thoughts, deflated morale, and lower self-confidence. Staying connected with friends and family is crucial for maintaining your mental health throughout the recovery process. In addition, many professional therapists specialize in treating injured workers who are experiencing a difficult recovery.

Stay on Top of Physical Therapy

For the fastest, most complete recovery possible, consult with a physical therapist who is trained to help patients with your particular injury. A good physical therapy regimen is medically proven to improve results by restoring your function closer to what it was prior to the accident than without the therapy.
