If you were hurt at work due to a slip, trip, or fall incident, it is your employer’s responsibility to assist with the costs associated with lost wages, medical bills, and recovery.
You should not assume that your employer, or their worker’s compensation insurance company, have your interests in mind when paying for your claim. As a business model, insurance companies that pay less benefits for claims are more profitable: clearly, their interests are not aligned with your financial loss or recovery.
If an injury occurs on the job, the first step you should take is to notify your employer. After that, engaging the services of an experience worker’s compensation lawyer who can help guide you through the process and help protect your rights is essential.
