Accidents happen anytime and anywhere. While employers today have taken great strides to provide their employees with safe work environments, accidents still do occur. When an accident occurs in the workplace, the injured workers are entitled to workers’ compensation. While workers comp laws are designed to protect workers by providing them with a financial cushion when they are injured at work, the laws can be complex.

What to do After Being Injured in a Workplace Accident 

Workplace accidents can be devastating. However, the steps you take after the accident or discovering your illness will go a long way in protecting your rights to compensation. Below are some steps you should be sure of taking. 

• Inform your supervisor of the accident as soon as possible. Fill out an incident report form if you are able to. This will ensure that there is a record of the accident having occurred at work. 
• Document the accident and your injuries. Take photos of the scene of the accident and your injuries. Take note of your colleagues that were present during the accident and that may have witnessed the accident. 
• Seek medical attention for your injuries. You should do this even if you think your injuries aren’t serious. See a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. This will not only ensure that you get the medical treatment you need as early as possible but also have a medical report that shows your injuries were a result of the accident at work. 
• Keep documentation related to your injury. This may include medical records, receipts, and other documentation. This documentation will be used to determine how much you should be compensated. 
• Consult with an experienced Passaic workers’ compensation lawyer. An experienced attorney will evaluate your case and identify the compensation you are eligible to claim. They will represent you and improve the outcome of your claim. 

The Tricks Insurance Companies Use to Deny or Minimize Workers’ Comp Benefits 

Employers are required by New Jersey law to maintain workers’ compensation insurance. This insurance is meant to compensate workers that are injured while at work or while carrying out tasks on behalf of their employer. Workers are eligible for these benefits no matter who was responsible for the accident that resulted in the injury. However, insurance companies will put up a fight to minimize their losses. Some tricks insurance companies use to avoid paying compensation include: 

• Claiming that your injury did not happen at work or is not work-related 
• Offering a low settlement in exchange for expediting the claims process 
• Using delay tactics to pressure you into taking a low settlement 

Our lawyers will fight to speed up the claims process and ensure you receive full and fair compensation for your work injury.
