Work-related injuries happen on a daily basis and our Workers Compensation doctors in New York help patients like you through the compensation process, getting treatment and rehabilitation from the accident.
If you got injured in NYC, here is what you need to do.
What to Do After Getting a Work-Related Injury
Report to Your Supervisor
Never hide an accident from your supervisor, as you cannot receive proper support from our workers comp clinic. Make sure to file the proper form, as you will need to cover medical expenses and also get paid even for the time you were out of work, because of your work injuries.
Seek Medical Treatment
Just like with car accidents, injuries from work-related accidents can seem unimportant at first. When we go through a traumatic event, the adrenaline rush might mask some of the injuries, but, after a while, you’ll notice you feel worse.
Make sure to seek proper treatment as soon as possible, in order to rule out any life-threatening injuries. Our team of workers comp doctors is ready to help you with the diagnosis and also the next steps in order to get a successful claim for compensation.
We have orthopedists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists and pain management specialists to help you heal and rehabilitate.
Apply for Workers Compensation and Seek Proper Legal Help
Compensation claims are complex processes and injured workers should seek expert legal help. Workplace injuries can sometimes lead to permanent disability and, even if it’s not the case, medical treatment is expensive and (sometimes) long-term.
An experienced compensation lawyer, together with our workers’ comp doctors, can help you get a successful claim from the workers compensation insurance companies.
Without this support, it’s very hard to understand the entire process and the forms you need to provide.
This is why we are here, in Flushing, Queens, to help you get all the medical care, documentation, advice and support in order to heal and get proper representation in front of the insurance adjusters.
Only Use Workers Compensation Insurance
After getting injured, only use Workers Compensation insurance and make sure, every time you go to the doctor, related to your injuries, that you have the insurance claim number.
If you don’t know who the doctors are or what’s the next step, please call us and we’ll provide all the details you need.
