Employers' Remedies to Injured Workers

[Jasz]

The purpose of this section is to provide a brief overview of the remedies available to employees who have been injured on the job. The remedies discussed in this section are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible remedies, but rather an introduction to the types of claims that can be brought by injured workers.

Injured workers may have several different types of injuries, and each has its own unique set of remedies available under law. These include:

Compensation for medical expenses;

Compensation for property damage;

Compensation for lost wages; and

Compensation for pain and suffering.

If you have been injured at work, it is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. If your injuries are severe enough, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other damages. However, there are some steps that you can take to help ensure that your claim is successful.

The first step in filing a workers' compensation claim is to contact your employer and request time off or other accommodations. If your employer refuses to grant the time off or accommodations, then this should be communicated to the insurance company so they can adjust their premium accordingly. The sooner that you file a claim with the insurance company, the more likely it will be approved by them and paid out by them. If you do not file a claim right away, however, there is little chance that it will be approved by the insurance company.

Employers are required to have a compensation plan that includes unemployment benefits and workers' compensation. If an employee is injured on the job, he or she should file a claim with his or her employer's insurance company. The employee then needs to go through the steps of filing a claim and dealing with the company's claims representative.

Employers are required to provide employees with proper training, including information about how to use safety equipment and how to treat injuries properly. This can help prevent accidents from happening in the first place and make sure that an injury does not become worse than it originally was.

Employers must also make sure that their employees are wearing appropriate safety equipment when they are doing their jobs. If an employee is injured due to lack of proper safety gear, employers may be responsible for paying for medical expenses and other damages resulting from this negligence.
