Protect Your Health and Your Rights
A sharp pain in your foot. A popping sound in your knee. Swelling or stiffness in your ankle. You should always report any incident or symptoms to your employer, and see a doctor if the pain persists. If you fail to do so, the insurance company may later contest whether your joint injury was work-related. “Working through the pain” will not score any points with the boss, especially if a minor, treatable injury becomes a long-term worker’s comp claim.
Medical treatment and documentation are important to maximizing your workers’ compensation benefits. Your employer may steer you to a certain doctor, but it is your right as an injured worker to control your care. It’s your body and your future.
