Employees should report the injury in writing to a supervisor as soon as possible. Workers have 30 days to report their injuries to a supervisor so that they can receive benefits under the employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurance. If workers do not file a claim or fear for their job if they file a claim, they have two years from the date of the injury to retain a lawyer and file a claim for the coverage they deserve.nnWe need to know who received the report, when the report was made, and what that person told the worker to do. We can easily follow up with managers and business owners to learn about how the report was handled. These managers or owners might claim a report was not made, but we can show that the report was submitted to management and proceed with a claim for coverage.nnIf the insurance company did not receive or act on that report, we will go to the insurance company for answers. Insurance companies often have several levels of bureaucracy to get through before a claim can be paid out, and we will use every option at our disposal to force the insurance company to act appropriately. If necessary, we will go to court to force the insurance company to pay for our client’s injuries and rehabilitation.nnWorkers should never give statements to the insurance company or a corporate lawyer; we must be present when speaking to those parties. We can only protect our client’s rights if we are present during questioning or a review of the accident. This also means that we can help file the claim if documentation needs to be submitted supporting the worker’s injury claim.nnThose injured on the job are urged to contact a Workers’ Compensation lawyer as soon as possible for a consultation. Under Workers’ Compensation law, Workers’ Compensation is a no-fault system and the employer avoids certain liabilities. We aim to get our clients the coverage they deserve, or we can file a claim against the insurance company when it has denied coverage, offered limited coverage, or otherwise caused additional injuries through its inaction.
