With as crazy as things have been, unemployment as high as it is, those who ARE working are feeling the added pressure to stay employed. Even if maybe an accident happens on the job, or an employer isn’t following CDC regulations in the workplace, you might be worried about talking to a lawyer, jeopardizing your job, being out of work. We are hearing a lot of this concern right now, more than ever. And we understand.

Take your health seriously

But just because you’re worried about your job doesn’t mean that you should take your health lightly. Because workers’ compensation is set in place to take care of injured workers. An employer is not supposed to penalize you for filing a workers’ compensation claim and you really need to do that and get legal advice  — it’s free. There’s never any payment to a workers’ compensation attorney until a judge authorizes a lawyers’ fee. So it’s always good to get information.

Some basic steps: File your workers’ compensation claim and see a doctor

It’s always good to file a claim and protect yourself. You have to be your own best Advocate. And then when you get an attorney who has a team dedicated to workers’ comp on your side – you don’t have to go it alone. Some basic steps:  File a claim. See a doctor. Don’t try and work it out under the table with your employer. Because you never know how things are going to turn out in the long run and you want to protect yourself. Your employer will only play nice until hospital bills or therapy bills get shown to them. Then they sing a different tune. Do it right from the beginning.  That way you’re protecting your long-term ability to work and take care of your family. You’ve got to think long-term in situations like these.
