When must I report a workplace injury?
Report it to your employer immediately — within 30 days in Florida, Georgia and New York, and sooner is always better. Late reporting is the most common reason benefits are denied.
Can I be fired for filing a workers' comp claim?
Retaliation for filing a claim is illegal. If you were disciplined, demoted or terminated after reporting an injury, tell us — you may have an additional claim.
What benefits does workers' compensation pay?
Medical treatment for the injury, a portion of lost wages while you cannot work, and compensation for lasting impairment. We make sure nothing is left off the table.
Can I also sue someone besides my employer?
Often yes. If a third party — a driver, contractor, or equipment maker — contributed to your injury, a separate lawsuit can recover damages workers' comp does not cover.
