Following these tips will save you a lot of trouble and potential heart ache.
Make sure that you go to a doctor right away after you are injured to be evaluated and treated.
Make sure that you tell your doctor about all your injuries at the first visit.
Make sure that you tell the doctor about your work accident at the first visit.
I have seen too many cases become side tracked for failure to follow these 3 easy steps.
If you delay seeking treatment it gives the work comp insurance company a reason to argue that something else caused your condition.
If you forget to tell your doctor about all your injuries it allows the work comp insurance company to raise the defense that only your back was injured and not your shoulder also.
If you do not tell the doctor that you were injured at work, then the insurance company will blame something else for your injury and you may lose your case.
