Workers who are injured on the job face many issues. From lost income to medical expenses and painful recovery, it can be overwhelming. The Workers’ Compensation system was created to protect workers in these situations.
It does not matter who was at fault for your accident. If you report a compensable workplace injury, your employer should provide you with medical treatment. If your employer does not send you to a doctor within three days of reporting your injury, you have a right to choose your own doctor and treat with your physician while your employer refuses to provide medical treatment.
