You’re working away on the production line at your job when suddenly you feel a sharp zing of pain in your shoulder. You wince for a moment, and the pain recedes to a dull, throbbing ache. Will you need to file a compensation claim even if you are able to make it through the rest of the day?
That’s the problem—you don’t know. Now’s a good time to remember an old saying: “Better safe than sorry.”
In our years representing workers hurt on the job, we see the same problems for claimants caused by their not doing some basic things to protect their rights. The claimants whose cases are the hardest are the ones who try to fight through immense pain, who underestimate the severity of their injury, or who are afraid to file a claim.
The truth is, you may not need a lot of medical care or have a claim that’ll cost your employer a lot of money. But by not protecting yourself immediately, you risk a denied claim or the nightmare of convincing the insurance company you got hurt at work so it will give you the medical care and disability income you desperately need.
