Do You Know Your Rights If You’re Injured At Work?

No one expects to be injured on the job. When it happens, it’s overwhelming. What steps should you take? Who do you inform? What paperwork needs to be filed? Who covers your medical bills and lost wages? Does fault matter?

Work injury claims are often complex, involving you, your employer, and insurance companies. Navigating these intricacies can feel impossible while recovering. That’s why you need trusted guidance from someone who knows the system inside and out.

Many factors determine the benefits or damages you may receive. Does your employer carry workers’ compensation insurance? Was your employer’s negligence the cause of your accident? Did your employer fail to act after you reported your injury?

These and many other issues make compensation and damage recovery for a work accident potentially complex and confusing. The Law Office Of Fred A Medina PLLC can give you peace of mind by simplifying the claim process and advocating for your rights to compensation and recovery.

What Steps Should You Take After A Work Injury?

Taking the right steps after a workplace injury is crucial. Here’s what you need to do:

• Seek medical attention immediately.
  Your health comes first. Visit a doctor, hospital, or urgent care and be specific about your symptoms and how the accident happened. Following your doctor’s recommendations will protect both your health and your claim.
• Notify your employer.
  Texas law requires you to report your injury within 30 days, but sooner is better. Tell your manager or HR representative verbally and follow up in writing—through email or a workers’ comp form—to create a record of your report.
• Document everything.
  Keep detailed notes about the accident, including where and how it happened, conditions at the time, and who was present. Save medical records, receipts, emails, and other documentation related to your injury and claim.
