FAQ's

Workers Compensation

  • What should I do if I get injured at work?

    First, notify your employer about your injury immediately. Seek appropriate medical treatment and, if necessary, obtain a disability slip from your doctor if you need time off work. Make sure your employer receives a copy of this slip to ensure proper documentation.

  • After reporting my injury, will my employer file my claim?

    Your employer is required to notify their workers’ compensation insurance company after they are informed of your injury. However, you must file your claim directly with the Workers’ Compensation Commission. We can assist you with the filing process to ensure it’s done correctly.

  • Do I need an attorney to file a workers’ compensation claim?

    While it’s not required to hire an attorney, having legal representation can ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to. Without a lawyer, you may not fully understand your rights or the procedures involved. If disputes arise with insurance adjusters or your employer, an experienced attorney can protect your interests.

  • Do I have to pay my attorney upfront to pursue my case?

    No. Attorneys’ fees are not required upfront in workers’ compensation cases. By law, attorneys are paid from the settlement or recovery after the Workers’ Compensation Commission approves it. This means there are no out-of-pocket expenses for you unless we win your case.

  • Can my employer fire me for filing a workers’ compensation claim?

    No. It is illegal for your employer to fire you or retaliate in any way for filing a workers’ compensation claim. Your right to seek compensation is protected by law.

  • What if my employer is paying my medical bills and wages—do I still need to file a claim?

    Even if your employer has agreed to cover medical bills and wages, it’s still important to file a formal claim. Without filing, you may miss out on other potential benefits, like vocational rehabilitation or compensation for permanent partial disability. Additionally, time limits exist for filing a claim, and failing to do so could result in the loss of your benefits.
