Workplace Accidents and Wrongful Death Claims
Following workplace injuries, it is essential to report the injury to your supervisor. This is an essential first step that, especially if missed, may prevent your application for benefits from being approved. Your company will provide you with paperwork to complete and may determine which physician you must see for treatment. However, the company does not have the right to tell you which workman's comp attorney you may speak with or to discourage you from seeking legal counsel.
