Protect Your Health and Your Right to Claim Workers’ Compensation Benefits
When you’ve been injured on the job, it’s not unusual to keep working and seek treatment at the end of your shift, or to avoid having a doctor look at you at all. Often, in the immediate aftermath of a workplace accident, your injuries may not seem significant. Unfortunately, it’s frequently the most debilitating injuries that take the longest time to appear.
When you’ve suffered any type of injury at work, regardless of how small, it’s in your best interests to either immediately seek treatment at a hospital or urgent care facility, or to schedule an appointment with your personal physician. Here are the reasons why:
- You most likely won’t know the full extent of your injuries—With virtually every accident, there are the injuries you can see or feel and the ones you can’t. Often, the ones that are not apparent at the time of the accident will have the biggest long-term impact on your life. For example, a simple slip and fall may not produce any cuts, bruises or broken bones, but may result in ligament, muscle or tendon injury that takes a few days or weeks to manifest.
- Your best chance of a full recovery depends on early treatment
- Failing to treat injuries now may cause you to compensate and develop other physical problems
- The longer you wait to be treated, the more challenging it may be to tie health problems to the work accident.
