3 Tips to Making a Worker’s Compensation Case

January 14, 2021 by Harris Guidi Rosner

The majority of the working class across the globe work nine-to-five jobs, which means most spend a minimum of 40 hours a week hustling and bustling from paycheck to paycheck. This leaves employees vulnerable to a myriad of risky developments they can’t afford to handle, such as accidents in the workplace that require compensation. 

Unfortunately, worker’s compensation claims are not always a straightforward path for many injured employees. Many times the road to overcoming bumps and hurdles can be just as financially draining. With that in mind, here are some simple ways to improve your chances of success throughout a worker’s compensation claim: 

Tip #1: Report Your Injury Immediately

Letting your higher-ups know about your injury is critical. Keep in mind that the process of filing a worker’s compensation starts as soon as you receive medical attention.  

That’s why aside from notifying your employer and receiving treatment, be sure to connect with a reliable attorney to support your claim as soon as possible. Remember that every state also has varying deadlines regarding your providing notice of the injury, so missing the date means risking losing the benefits package entirely. 

Tip #2: Get Immediate Medical Treatment and Keep Everything on the Record

Seeking prompt medical treatment is critical not only for the sake of your speedy recovery but also to serve as solid evidence in your worker’s compensation claim. The insurance company can easily pass off your injuries as something minor if you take your time, which is why you should always document your injuries as proof. 

Moving forward, you also may have to attend your independent medical examination (IME).

Tip #3: Hire a Worker’s Compensation Lawyer 

Filing for a worker’s compensation can be a muddy experience, particularly since injured employees have to go through hoops to get the coverage they deserve for the accident. If you are dealing with an insurance company that ignores your requests or tries to make a settlement offer, it’s the prime time to hire a compensation lawyer.

Investing the time in hiring a professional to support your case will pay two-fold once you increase your chances of claiming your right to the worker’s compensation benefits.

The Bottom Line: Making the Most Out of Your Worker’s Compensation Benefits

Many work injuries result in temporary or permanent job loss. Compensation during these times can be critical.
