Work can be dangerous. People get hurt on the job every day. For that exact reason, we enacted workers’ compensation laws to make it easier and faster for injured workers to get medical treatment and monetary benefits
Don’t Fall for the Wrong Information When it Comes to Your Workers’ Compensation Rights.
Don’t let anyone at work tell you that you don’t have a workers’ compensation case just because you fell on a flat surface at work. Likewise, don’t let anyone at work tell you that you don’t have a workers’ compensation case just because you didn’t slip on something or trip over something. If you fall down at work and get hurt, you need to notify your employer immediately and get medical treatment.
