What To Do If You Have Been Injured At Work

Advice and answers for those injured in on-the-job accidents

The most common reasons injured workers lose their workers' compensation cases are due to mistakes the injured workers make immediately after they suffer an injury.

In order to avoid these mistakes, call John V. Boshardy & Associates, a qualified workers comp attorney in Decatur, Quincy, Jacksonville, or Springfield to discuss how to preserve your rights. Below are a few important rules to follow:

1.  Notify your employer immediately! Even if you do not believe that you will require medical care. If you fail to notify your employer that you have suffered a work accident within 45 days of the accident, you will not be able to recover any compensation should you later discover that you were more severely injured than you originally thought.

  • For repetitive trauma injuries, you are required to provide notice within 45 days of the date on which you became aware that you had a condition and a reasonable person would have become aware that the condition was caused by the repetitive nature of the job.
  • Do not believe that your employer and its insurance company will allow you to avoid this rule because you are a valued employee. An insurance company has no financial interest in treating you fairly. You must follow this rule.
  • Contrary to popular belief, an injured worker cannot be fired for reporting a work accident or filing a workers' compensation claim.

2.  Seek treatment from a physician as soon as you are able.

3.  Tell your physician, or your physician's assistant, of the injury in as much detail as possible. Make certain that your doctor records this description accurately. If you are seeking treatment for what you believe is a repetitive trauma injury, describe your work activities as accurately, and in as much detail, as possible. Do not assume that your doctor will know what you do at work.

  • If you are seeking treatment for what you believe is a repetitive trauma injury, describe your work activities as accurately, and in as much detail, as possible. Do not assume that your doctor will know what you do at work.

4.  Consult the experienced team at John V. Boshardy & Associates as soon after your injury as possible to receive further advice on the matters discussed above and to protect your rights. Remember, your attorney is there to protect you, not your employer or its insurance company.
