If you have been injured at work, you must seek medical attention immediately. The first step in any injury claim is filing a report with your employer's human resources department within several days of the date of injury. If possible, take pictures of the accident scene and any injuries sustained. The second step is to contact an attorney who is focused on workers' compensation law because they know what benefits are available to workers who have been injured on the job. Your Lake Worth employment law attorney from RTRLAW will also help determine whether there was negligence on behalf of your employer or another party involved in causing your injury - either intentionally or unintentionally - so that they can be held responsible for any damages sustained by you as a result of their carelessness or negligence. We also offer free initial consultations, so if you have any questions about how we can help with your case, please feel free to contact us today.
