Hurt at Work? Call Gold Country
What are your options if you get hurt at work, either caused by a specific incident or by cumulative stress over time on any body part that eventually causes injury? You might not know what sort of benefits you are entitled to, if any. A work-related injury could happen to anyone, and every employer has to have the necessary accommodations so that their employees feel safe and can do their jobs efficiently without worrying about being heavily injured.
In fact, a common way to be hurt at work is in a result of a slip and fall. You could slip and fall due to dangerous or hazardous materials or conditions at your place of work. Dangerous conditions include a variety of different things such as unevenness in flooring, poor lighting, narrow stairs, or a wet and slippery floor. In some cases, it might have been your responsibility to, say, pick up and obstruction on the floor that is within your skillset and control, but other things are less your responsibility or just not even something you are capable of fixing yourself, especially depending on the kind of job you have.
Some of the most dangerous jobs involve being in areas and working conditions outside of your control such as lawn service, construction work, steelwork, driving trucks, fishing, and roofing.
At the end of the day, if you receive a specific injury while you were on the clock at your place of work that results in medical care, you are most likely entitled to workers’ compensation. It might be a bit hard to tell at first, in which case you could call an Attorney for a consultation to see what your options are.
An attorney can give you needed advice on how to move forward with your claim and even give you more legitimacy when dealing with an employer or agency that is still in the process of gaining their own evidence. It doesn’t cost you any more money upfront and the earlier you get an attorney involved, the more likely you are to avoid serious problems down the road, and not getting one early enough could cost you in your case.
