Worker's Compensation Lawyer
Injuries you incur or illnesses you contract
while on the job or while on company business can
be handled through a worker's compensation claim.
Whether it is a fall on company property, an
injury from defective equipment or machinery, a
long term repetitive injury, or even an illness
resulting from exposure (occupational disease)
you may need representation from an attorney to
handle your worker's compensation claim against
your employer. Your employer does not need to be
found at fault for you to receive benefits;
however, you may disagree with your employer
about how extensive those benefits should be.
When you feel you are entitled to more
compensation, please call a worker's compensation
lawyer.
If you have been injured on the job be sure that
you do the following:
Report Your Injury
- Notify your employer in writing of your
injury within 30 days recording all details
regarding the date, time and location along
with the nature of the injury.
- Failure to report your injury within 30
days can jeopardize your chance for
benefits.
Get Medical
Care
- As with all injury cases, be sure you go to
the doctor and follow the recommended
treatment.
- Your employer will pay for the medical
care; however, your employer chooses the
doctor.
File a Claim for Compensation
- Your employer may feel you should no longer
need medical care or do not need long term
disability.
- If you disagree, call The Krebs Law
Firm to handle your workman's comp
claim.
