Topic: Workers Compensation
In today's volatile economy, businesses are looking to scale down. One of the first ways a business scales down is by cutting liability. An injured worker on restrictions is deemed a liability by many businesses. If you are on restrictions and about to get laid off or have been laid off, you may be entitled to workers compensation benefits. If you are trying to work through a work injury, make your employer aware of it. If you get laid off and then decide to report a work injury it may raise a red flag with the workers compensation insurance carrier. Businesses are doing what they need to do to survive. Call Jason Krasno at Krasno Krasno and Onwudinjo and learn how to survive with a work injury. Email Jason at jkrasno@krasno.com or call him at 1.866.443.1505.
