Injured at Work: It Can Happen to Anyone

Getting injured at work is more common than most might think. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2015, there were:

  • 2.9 million non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses in the private sector
  • Over 752,600 non-fatal injury and illness cases among the 18 million state and local government employees

Common Contributors to Getting Injured at Work

Whether you work in an office, construction site or other location, certain hazards may be obvious while other hazards are practically impossible to foresee. Some of the most common ways employees are injured at work can include:

  • Slip and fall
  • Falls from heights
  • Overexertion
  • Material handling
  • Tool accidents
  • Struck by/against an object
  • Machinery accidents
  • Vehicle accidents
  • Repetitive motion injuries

What steps should I take after I’m injured at work in California?

  1. Seek medical treatment: This may sound obvious, but be sure to make a trip to the doctor after getting hurt on the job. Many workers feel like they should “tough it out” after they get injured at work, waiting until they are off the clock to seek help for an injury. However, this can make your injuries worse, and can even make an insurance adjuster or administrative law judge question the severity of your injury if you were able to keep working afterward.
  2. Immediately report your injury to your employer: You need to make sure your employer is notified of your injury. This is a critical step in beginning the process of filing a claim for workers’ compensation benefits.
  3. Speak with any witnesses to your accident, and get their contact information: Some workers’ compensation insurers will deny claims, attempting to argue that your injury was not caused by the job. Having a co-worker or other witness who can testify to what really happened when you got hurt can strengthen your claim.
  4. Contact a skilled Los Angeles workers’ compensation attorney: After your work injuries, representatives from an insurance company will try to obtain a written or recorded statement. They may also try to get you to settle your claims immediately, offering what might sound like a generous amount of money in exchange for an agreement not to continue pursuing your claims. Do not agree to make any official statements or sign any releases before you have the chance to talk to an attorney. Making a recorded statement can come back to haunt you later on in your claim, especially if you get confused or overwhelmed and say something you don’t mean to. While a settlement offer might seem generous at the time, you may be entitled to more—much more—than an insurer lets on. Our experienced and knowledgeable work injury lawyers at Joe, Southard & Yeoh LLP provide you with assistance when you need it and fight for you when you have been hurt on the job.
