Tip #7-Some Occupational Conditions are payable under Workers Compensation when there is No Accident

Claims for Occupational Conditions are usually more difficult to prove than accident claims. Employees often have to prove their claims in court.

Tip #5 – Injured Workers who can work must return to work or look for work

If you make a claim about a work injury and you can work, you must work. If you don’t have work to do at your current job, you must look for work. This rule is confusing for injured workers. They often ask, “Why do I have to look for work?” “What kind of work do […]

TIP #3-Get Medical Treatment Right Away From the Approved Medical Provider

The insurance company picks the medical provider. The injured worker can request a change in treatment. When you need a doctor, of course you choose to go to the one you know and trust. But when you have a workers’ comp claim and the insurance company is paying for your medical treatment that is not […]

TIP #2-Understand What “Injury By Accident” Means

An injury by accident is an unusual event that interrupts normal work. The word accident is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance.” That definition makes sense: you don’t have an accident unless something out of the ordinary happens. When you apply that definition to workers’ comp in North […]

TIP #1-Report Injuries at work in writing as soon as possible

If you don’t report your injury right away, it can lead to a very hard lesson. The first and most important lesson when handling workers’ compensation claims is to report injuries at work when they happen.
