What Are Some Common Mistakes Made By People Who Have Been Injured At Work?

One of the most common mistakes I see people make after getting hurt at work is that they don’t insist that their employer cover the injury under workers’ compensation. They go to a doctor on their own, they may not tell the doctor that it’s work-related – they’re afraid they’re going to get in trouble for their work injury. What they need to do is follow the law and follow the process of informing the employer that they’re injured at work and that they need workers’ compensation benefits.
