Hurt at Work and Getting Laid Off?

What if you were hurt at work, but now you might be getting laid off?

If you get laid off / fired, your claim for a work injury will most likely be denied. What does that mean if you have a work injury? That means you need to see a doctor today and get your injury claim open and accepted by your workers comp insurance carrier. Then, if you happen to get laid off or fired, you can still get treated for your work injury and receive Temporary Income Benefits (money) while you are being treated and getting better.

The alternative is that you could get laid off / fired, be hurt and in pain, not be getting a pay check, and not be able to get a job doing something else because you're injured. This just isn't an option. You deserve to get better and be able to work.

So remember: If you were hurt at work, don't wait to be fired or laid off before trying to file your work injury claim. It could be too late by that time. See the doctor today!
