Experienced Lawyers in North Carolina
You ask yourself, "now that I have been injured at work, what should I do?" You should collect all the information you can about your injury and who you've spoken with about it. One of the most important things for you to do is to speak to an experienced workers' compensation attorney about your rights. We at Ken Wayne & Associates are here to develop a successful strategy for you to obtain workers' compensation benefits and protect your rights as an injured worker.
If you have been injured at work, the first thing that you must do is notify your employer. Don't wait. Insurance companies may deny your claim if you wait too long to notify your employer of your injuries.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Tell Your Employer
Many people, after suffering an injury at work, want to shake it off and go on as if nothing happened. They may think that they should wait until the next day to tell an employer. This can be an enormous mistake regarding your workers' compensation claim.
The longer you wait, the more likely it is that an insurance company will question the validity of your claim. It becomes harder to determine whether your injuries occurred while at work.
Seeking Medical Attention for Your On The Job Injuries
After suffering an injury at work in a construction accident or industrial accident, you should immediately ask your employer to provide you with medical care. Initially, your employer has the right to direct you to a specific doctor. If your employer fails to supply a doctor for you, you can see your own doctor. Always ask your employer first. If you fail to do so you may end up paying your own medical bills.
