FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Should I obtain a diagnosis before seeking legal assistance for a workplace injury?

Prior to seeking legal help for a workplace injury, it’s crucial to obtain a formal diagnosis. Without a clear diagnosis, the risk of rejection for any subsequent claim increases significantly. Legal assistance is most effective when there’s a clear understanding of the injury’s nature and severity. Therefore, ensuring a proper diagnosis is essential to strengthen the foundation of any potential legal claim. It’s also important to remember that any workplace injuries should be reported to your employer as soon as you become aware of them and ideally you should lodge a Workers’ Compensation claim within 30 days. An important step in lodging a claim is to visit your doctor.

Why is it important to get legal help if you're seriously injured?

If you’re badly hurt, it’s vital to consider getting legal support. While small injuries might not need much treatment or have lasting effects, serious injuries are different. They often need a lot of attention and can lead to ongoing medical bills, lost income, or even permanent disability. Getting legal help for these serious injuries ensures you get the right compensation and support to deal with the long-term impact of your injury.

Should I keep track of injury timelines & does it impact my ability to seek financial support through medical and legal assistance?

Tracking when injuries occur is essential for building a strong case. Without clear timelines, it’s challenging to prove what happened and when. But here’s the good news – seeking medical and legal help can be a game-changer. By documenting your injuries and seeking professional advice, you can secure financial support to cover lost wages and medical expenses. Don’t hesitate – taking proactive steps now can safeguard both your health and your finances in the long run!
