What Happens When Your Employer Blows You Off After You Report a Work Injury
There are specific guidelines for employers to follow when a work injury occurs. They are to provide you with an incident report, a panel list of physicians and report the injury to their workers' compensation insurance carrier. Unfortunately, employers do not always follow these guidelines and leave you hung out to dry. If you have an uncooperative employer, print an incident report from our website and hand a copy to him. If you are not provided with a list of panel physicians, make an appointment with your family doctor or call our firm to direct you to the right medical professional. If your employer fails to report the injury, we will file a claim on your behalf.

If your employer is retaliating against you, try not to react in a detrimental way to your case. A separate action can be brought in civil court for Retaliation. Also, do not give your employer an excuse to fire you. If you are late or get into arguments with the people retaliating against you, it will give your employer the ammunition they need to fire you. Be alert, Be aware and Be smart.
