Most workers that are injured at work get medical treatment that same day or within a couple of days. A few workers don’t get medical treatment and wait a week or few weeks. It is imperative that you seek medical treatment right away and not wait too long, otherwise workers’ comp will try to say that you never truly injured yourself at work otherwise you would have gone to see a doctor. They will argue that you instead injured yourself at home or doing something else. The more that time passes before seeing a doctor, the harder it is to get the benefits you deserve.
