Several things are going to happen if you are injured on the clock. Know that you have the right to obtain legal counsel due to getting hurt on the job. The first thing you need to do is seek medical attention. Everything must be documented as some states only allow short timeframes to be evaluated after a workplace injury. Next, you must inform your employer. Whether or not you are covered by workers’ compensation is determined by the state you live in and on your job.
Workers’ compensation laws may differ by state, yet many are universal and may be applicable. If you are in a state where workers’ compensation is offered, you have the following rights:
• To seek medical attention and evaluation for your work-related injuries
• To return to your job once you are medically cleared to work again
• To file a legal claim for your injury
• To disability compensation should not be able to return to work temporarily or permanently
• To receive all workers’ compensation benefits that you are entitled to
• To have a hearing before the workers’ compensation court
• To representation by a workers’ compensation attorney
• And more depending on the state in which you reside
The amount of time you are legally allowed to file a claim if you are injured at work can vary by state. It all depends on where you live and where the injury occurred. The majority of states require you to notify your employer of the injury at work as soon as humanely possible. The rule of thumb is to inform your employer within the first 72 hours after the injury or when the injury first presented itself. The general statute of limitations allows 2 years to file a legal claim; however, some states may allow 3 years to file a legal claim.
First, receive medical attention as soon as possible. Your safety and health are the most important. Next, file a police report and provide a written statement of the details of events that occurred. We can help you find the best dog bite lawyer to help represent your specific case.
