The most important factors in determining whether or not you have a workers compensation claim are when, where, and in what capacity you were working for your employer when you got injured. Just because you may have been injured while at work does not necessarily mean you qualify.

Check with your employee handbook when you’ve been injured at work to help determine your next best steps. It should contain your guidelines for filing a workers compensation claim.
If your employer has not issued a employee handbook or provided this information, or you still have questions, you should check with the state worker’s compensation board for additional and specific instructions.
In general, take a moment to answer these questions:
- Were you injured at work?
- Was the injury due to employer negligence?
- Did the injury occur during work hours?
- Has the injury impaired your ability to do your job?
- Did the injury require medical treatment?
- Did the injury leave you with medical bills?
- Did the injury result in a loss of wages?
- Does the injury keep you from returning to work?
If you answered yes to most of these questions you may qualify for a claim of worker’s compensation. Fill out the form for a professional consultation with a local attorney.
