It is scary when you are hurt at work and make these spooky mistakes.
Do not wait too long to go to the doctor. Work Comp may think you got hurt off the job.
Do not wait to tell work that you were hurt on the job. Failure to notify is a defense for the employer and may raise other defenses to your claim.
Do not forget to tell your doctor how you got hurt at work. Many claims are denied because nothing about the work injury shows up in the medical records.
Do not forget to get your settlement. If you are hurt on the job, then you are entitled to a settlement. It is really frightening when the insurance company does not pay you the money you deserve.
Do not forget to talk a Workers’ Compensation lawyer to protect your rights. Feel free to contact Illinois Work Injury Lawyer Dirk May at 309-827-4371.
Avoid these things that go bump in the dark.
