What Happens When You Are Injured on the Job?
There are many different things to deal with and manage if you or someone that you are close with is injured on the job. Of course, the hope is that the employer will put the safety of the employee first. This means getting the help they need as soon as possible. Even if help is provided as soon as possible, after the original injury, there may be a lot of red tape to get through. If your employer does have workers compensation coverage, you may be required to use their approved list of doctors and only them. That means that if you get started with another doctor because you were not told that you had to use a specific one, then you may have to pay for those services out of your own pocket. This is the last thing that you will want to deal with when you are dealing with an injury. This simply makes the process that much more difficult to deal with and you will need to likely wait to get more information before you can get the help that you need from a doctor.
What If Your Employer Does Not Have Insurance?
If you have been injured on the job, or someone you are close with has been injured on the job, and the employer did not provide any workers compensation information, you may have a case. In this situation, you may have used your own medical insurance to get the care that you need. This is something that you should not have to pay for out of your own pocket and something that should raise a red flag. That is not the only issue with this situation, however. In this situation, you would not only have to pay for your own medical treatment but if you were to lose work because of the injury, then you would not receive any type of compensation to assist with the lost wages. This is a major red flag and not something that you should have to worry about in addition to your injury. This is something that the employer should take care of for you so that you can focus on healing and getting back to work. Having to pay for your medical treatment and figure out how to put food on the table is a lot to handle. This is why workers compensation is usually in place, and is a requirement of many employers. You do not want to find out the hard way that this is now your problem. However, if this has happened to you, then you may have options and you may have a case.
