Common Mistakes to Avoid When Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim
Common mistakes that we see employees make are:
Filing a workers’ compensation claim is serious. You need medical care and cannot work, even if it’s temporary, and you have a right to file a claim for benefits. We recommend that you work with an Atlanta workers’ compensation attorney to avoid common mistakes that will negatively impact your claim.
Not Reporting The Accident
You must report the accident to your employer as soon as possible. If you don’t report the case or wait weeks or months to make a report, your benefits may be denied. It’s important to report the accident so that:
- You can seek immediate medical attention.
- There’s a record of the accident that is as close to the incident as possible.
If you fail to report the accident, who is to say it wasn’t self-inflicted?
Not Following Doctor’s Orders
It is crucial to follow your doctor’s recommendations.
Let’s say that you hurt your back at work, and your doctor tells you to stay off your feet. If you decide that you feel good the next day and start chopping wood, you may aggravate your injury and put your benefits at risk.
Follow your doctor’s orders precisely, even when you’re starting to feel better.
Not Accurately Portraying Injury
Honesty is the best policy. Do not downplay or exaggerate your injuries.
Returning to Work Mistakes
If you’re allowed to return to work, return. Your doctor may even recommend light duty, and if your employer can accommodate it, you need to be present. Your doctor will advise you when to return to work.
Not Getting Help From An Attorney
Claim denials will slow down your road to recovery and will put financial pressure on you and your family. Working with an attorney from the start will give you the best chance of having your claim approved and receiving maximum benefits.
