Workers Compensation -

• Claim on a No Win No Fee basis

Injuries at work are often unclaimed in the legal system for various reasons. Often an employee is afraid of losing their job or damaging work relationships. If you have had a work accident, you may be struggling to file a claim. You are probably also suffering loss financially and in your quality of life because of your injuries.

It is important to understand that your employer is responsible to provide you with a safe work environment. If employers are allowed to get away with careless practices, more people will probably be injured. It is important to protect your rights by filing worker compensation to receive payment for the losses you've retained from a work related injury.

Safety in the work place is the responsibility of the employer. Equipment must be safe and properly maintained. If the operating manual recommends regular maintenance and that maintenance is not observed, the employer is held responsible for not implementing safety regulations, including maintenance. For example, if a high pressure piece of equipment does not have the bolts set to the recommended torque, it can be released and could severely damage the operator. Also, chemicals and hazardous waste must be stored and used following strict safety procedure. Employees must be trained to handle equipment, materials and anything else that could affect their safety. Employers must supply all safety equipment. For example, in a heavy industrial area, a safety helmet and steel toed boots should be supplied. In an environment where chemicals could be released, safety goggles and protective clothing must be provided.

Don't worry about legal issues until you take care of your medical needs. Call an ambulance if you or anyone else involved has suffered an injury requiring immediate medical attention. First aid should be provided at the plant. For example, in the event of chemical exposure to the eyes, there should be an eye wash station to rinse your eyes thoroughly. For a full body chemical exposure, there should be showers to stop the chemical reaction. It is the employers duty to provide such showers and eye wash stations.

Take photos of your work related injuries and the scene of the accident if possible

Hard evidence is needed in every legal case. Write down the names and phone numbers of anyone involved in the accident. Get this information from any possible witnesses, as well. Continue to collect evidence by attending all doctor appointments and following instructions. It would be a good idea to document your attempts at recovery by keeping a journal of your recovery process and doctors appointments. Any evidence you can collect may help with your workers compensation claim.

By holding employers responsible for their actions, employees promote a safe work place for themselves and for the other people working there. Some people do not want to file a worker compensation claim because they are concerned about retribution at work. Evaluate your financial losses and decide if you deserve to be compensated for those injuries and damages.

Don't hesitate to gather information about worker compensation. Most law firms or solo attorneys offer free consultations to review your case and operate on a no win no fee agreement. Even if your case occurred in the last few years, there may be assistance available to you. The only way to get the money you need and the rights you deserve is to take the first step and contact a legal professional.
