Another Work Comp tip this week.
Make sure that you go the doctor right away after being hurt on the job.
The longer you wait the more the insurance company will argue that you were not really hurt badly.
Make sure that you tell the doctor about all your injuries and how you were injured at work.
If you do not give a history of your injury, then the insurance company will argue that you got hurt at home or anywhere but at work.
If you do not describe all your injuries, then the insurance company will claim that whatever you failed to mention is not related to your work accident.
Make sure that you treat consistently and follow doctor orders.
Doing otherwise will invite the insurance company to cut you off from payment and medical treatment because it looks like you are ready to return to work.
