It is an unfortunate reality of everyday life that the responsibilities of employment can cause or contribute to a fall in the workplace. If you have sustained an injury as a consequence of such a fall, please see a medical care provider and contact our office for further assistance.

 

It is critical to express to the care provider the exact nature of your employment activity at the time of the fall, while also emphasizing the traumatic impact of the fall and its effect on the various parts of the body injured. The Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and self-insured employers alike will look to limit both the variety and severity of the injuries sustained in a fall. The best way to combat this is by ensuring that the very first provider seen following a work-related fall exhaustively details every symptom, and the corresponding body part, that the claimant is experiencing in the aftermath.

 

Please be advised of your rights in these scenarios. And please feel free to contact our office for any additional information.
