The workers’ compensation system is designed to aid workers who get hurt or fall ill while working within the scope of their employment. It is a type of insurance held by employers to compensate employees when they suffer work-related injuries. The Oklahoma Workers’ Compensation Commission (OWCC) presides over benefits for injured workers. injured worker metal steps Unlike personal injury cases, workers' comp is a no-fault system; neither you nor your employer is liable for the injuries you sustain.

Workers' comp claims are subject to very strict rules and deadlines that you must follow in order to receive the full benefits you deserve. When you get hurt at work, here are the steps you must take: Report the injury to your employer: Notify your employer ASAP that you’ve been hurt. Some employers maintain tight deadlines for reporting an accident, and failure to follow internal protocols could result in the company disputing your benefits claim. Complete an incident report as soon as you can. Seek medical attention: When you report a work injury, you need to kindly demand to see a medical professional. Get the care you need from this specified provider only. Going to a doctor of your own choosing could result in denial of your workers’ compensation claim. Give the doctor a good history: The appointment with the doctor is your opportunity to get the type and extent of your injury on record. Tell the doctor all about your symptoms, limitations you’re facing, and actions that exacerbate the injury. A comprehensive medical record that documents your injury is one of the best assets in a workers’ comp claim. When you follow these steps, you enhance the strength of your claim for benefits. Your employer also has responsibilities at this time.
