Your employer must provide you with medical treatment at no cost to you. If you are not able to work because of your injury, your employer must pay you temporary disability benefits. You may also be entitled to collect a cash award to compensate you for your injuries.

In many instances, however, an employer does not know the law or chooses to ignore the law. Some employers will even tell you that you are not entitled to make a claim. However, if you are hurt while working, even if the accident is your own fault, you can make a claim. You need a workers’ compensation attorney who will fight for you and who will make sure that your employer follows the law. An employer has their insurance company and its lawyers working for them. If you have been injured, it is important that you contact an attorney, who will immediately start working for you.  It is extremely important that you know your rights.
