Workplace Injuries
If I was injured at work, why is my employer asking me to use private insurance to cover medical expenses?
Immediate Action To Take and Understanding Your Rights
The law requires that employers provide a reasonably safe work environment, but injuries still occur. If you are injured at work, immediately report the incident to your employer. As an injured employee, you have the right to file a claim for workers compensation and receive benefits. It is crucial to understand that you also have the right to refuse requests or offers from your employer, without fear of reprisals or harassment, if you choose to file a claim. Employers could face serious consequences by interfearing with your ability to exercise your rights.
