Worker's Compensation
Workplace injuries can present a range of problems. Some injured parties mistakenly believe that their employer will take care of their medical treatment. Others expect their employer to file for Workers' Compensation Commission on their behalf. Many injured employees are reluctant to file a claim themselves out of a fear of jeopardizing their jobs. Still others mistakenly believe that they are not entitled to benefits because the workplace accident may have been their fault.
