Some Common
Mistakes which can
Ruin Your Workers
Compensation
Did you suffer an injury at the workplace? Do not worry, you
are probably eligible to file for workers compensation benefits.
These benefits will help pay for your:
Medical
Bills
Lost
Wages
Pain and
Suffering
You Failed To Report The Injury
The first and the most important thing that you should always keep
in mind following a work-related injury is that you have to report
the injury to your superiors. If you fail to do so, you will not be
eligible to obtain any benefits.
Every state has a statute of limitations. In California, you have 30
days from the moment of the injury to report it to your employer or
superiors. Miss the deadline and you will not be eligible to seek any
benefits for that particular injury.
You Did Not Seek Medical Attention
If you got injured, call the ambulance. You have to get checked by a
doctor immediately. If you fail to receive medical assistance, you will
not have any proof of your injury and that it took place at the workplace.
Your physician will document everything and once you obtain a copy of
your doctor’s report, you will have strong evidence proving that the
injuries did come from a work-related injury.
Contact a Los Angeles Workers Compensation Attorney
William Kropach if you need help with your claim and gathering
evidence to support it.
You Visited The Wrong Doctor
Yes, it is possible to visit the wrong doctor following an accident
at the workplace. Believe it or not, but you can only visit a few
certified doctors, previously appointed by your employer’s
insurance company. If you visit any other doctor, even if you
obtain your work comp benefits, you will not get compensated
for any medical costs. That means that you may have to spend a
small fortune and no one will cover it.
You Trust Your Employer To Take Care Of
It For You
Even though it may seem natural to entrust your employer with
your claim, try and avoid doing that. The best way to ensure that
everything is going as it should is to let your attorney take care of
your claim on your behalf. You can focus on your injuries and let
a Workers Compensation Attorney in Los Angeles at Law
Offices of Kropach & Kropach gathers evidence and file a
claim while you rest and recover from your injuries.
