Steps to take if you’ve been injured at work Serving Los Feliz, CA

Seeking compensation is something that needs to be done after a workplace injury to protect your rights. However, insurance companies often require that you take specific steps that help you protect your rights. These steps are vital to your ability to obtain compensation, and include the following things:

• Inform your employer: You should report your accident to your employer and let them know about your injuries. 
• Seek medical care: Get your initial medical care completed, but also prepare for the independent medical exam with your employer’s insurance company’s medical provider.
• Get paperwork from your employer: Your employer should provide you with the paperwork needed to start the claim. The paperwork should have space for information including where and when the accident occurred, how it happened, and if anyone else was involved.
• Work with a lawyer: Accuracy is critical when filing your workers’ compensation claim. A workers’ comp lawyer can help fill out the paperwork in a way that provides the most accurate information possible.

Why should you hire a Workers’ Comp attorney?

When you file your claim, you’re going to work with insurance adjusters who represent the insurance company. They’ll be friendly and seem empathetic to the fact that you suffered an injury. However, when your pain requires compensation for medical bills, hospital stays, doctor visits, physical rehabilitation, lost wages, and pain and suffering, they’re not so quick to offer you a favorable settlement.

Your claim threatens profits, and the more they pay out, the more of a loss they take. Insurance adjusters will try and use tactics that protect themselves, not you. To combat these tactics and protect your rights, you should have a lawyer on your side who knows the law, including the insurance company’s responsibility to pay out benefits when you need them.

An attorney can also help you determine which option is best for you: a settlement or weekly benefits.
