What steps should injured workers take in medical malpractice cases?

Posted on Tuesday, May 18th, 2010 at 11:19 am    

When employees are injured at work, they may want to take a number of the following steps. First, they may want to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Receiving workers’ compensation benefits does not require that the injured party first file a claim before receiving treatment.

Second, workers may want to file a claim with their employer or their employer’s insurer as soon as possible. In some cases, they also may want to file their claim with the state workers’ compensation agency.

Once injured workers have received medical treatment and filed a claim, they may want to follow up on the claim to ensure that they receive their workers’ compensation benefits in a timely manner.

If you or anyone you know is having difficulty receiving workers’ compensation benefits, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 888-389-COMP.
