What Do I Do if I Am Injured?
If you have been injured at work, you need to make sure your employer is made aware of it immediately. Notifying your employer should be priority one; this allows you to ensure they file the necessary paperwork with the insurance company.
If your employer doesn't have a posted panel of physicians, you are legally allowed to see a doctor of your choice. You must inform the physician that you are being treated for an on-the-job injury.
Consulting an attorney at the beginning of your recovery can help you later in the process. This is especially true in situations where approved workers' compensation claims are terminated before a full recovery. It is often a good idea to have knowledgeable advice on the first steps you take after you have been hurt.

Why Would I Need a Lawyer?
In a perfect world, your workers' compensation claim would be approved and the process would run smoothly. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. You may find yourself in need of legal representation in a variety of situations, including when:
- Claims have been denied.
- Claims have been accepted, but the insurance company won't approve the necessary doctor visits.
- Your employer doesn't carry workers' compensation coverage. Businesses with more than three employees are required to carry such coverage.
