Know Your Rights!

You Have the Right to:

  • File a workers’ compensation claim for any work-related injury
  • Choose your own doctor for treatment (in most cases)

  • Return to your job when medically cleared (if possible)

Your Employer Cannot:

  • Force you to use their preferred doctor if you disagree with the treatment
  • Intimidate you into not filing a claim
  • Make you pay for work-related medical expenses

What to Do Immediately After a Workplace Injury

  1. Report Your Injury Right Away

Notify your supervisor or HR department immediately, even if the injury seems minor. Most states require reporting within 24-48 hours.

  1. Seek Medical Attention

Get medical care immediately, even if your employer suggests waiting. Your health comes first, and delaying treatment can hurt your claim.

  1. Document Everything

Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any hazardous conditions. Get contact information from witnesses.

  1. Keep Detailed Records

Save all medical records, receipts, and correspondence related to your injury. Document how the injury affects your daily life.

  1. Don’t Sign Anything Without Legal Review

Insurance companies often push for quick settlements that don’t cover your full needs. Get legal advice before signing any documents.

  1. Contact Us

The sooner you have legal representation, the better protected your rights will be throughout the process.
