The first thing to do when you have been injured at work is to seek emergency medical attention, then notify your employer. Tell your supervisor and human resources that you were injured at work. For example, “I hurt my back lifting a box here at work.” If your employer is not covered by Texas Workers’ Compensation insurance, you may have a much shorter deadline to tell your employer and receive benefits under your employer’s occupational injury plan. Some plans require notice within 24 hours or less. Then, contact us. The attorneys as Allison & Ward can help you locate a doctor who will treat you for workers compensation and on the job injuries.
