You should try to get workers’ compensation benefits to ensure that you do not pay any money out-of-pocket for expenses related to the injury. If you are injured at work, you are likely going to require medical attention and take time away from work. The costs associated with receiving medical treatment can be significant and the income lost from being away from work can have a major impact on your financial well-being. Since workers’ compensation is available state-wide to employees, it is important that you file for benefits as soon as possible following your injury.
