In the event of a workplace accident, regardless of the extent of the harm to your health, you are most likely entitled to workers’ compensation.
Dr. Stoly and the referred specialists are certified to treat workers’ compensation patients and provide thorough documentation so that every injured worker promptly receives proper compensation. Dr. Stoly’s goal is to help patients restore their health and return to work quickly, with accurate and timely documentation to obtain proper compensation.
Examples of workplace injuries include:
- A fall from scaffolding
- A heavy machinery accident
- Falling objects
- Slipping and falling
- A car accident
- A back injury from lifting a heavy box
After a workplace injury it is crucial to see a doctor immediately, even if the injury seems minor. You have the option to file a claim within two years of the accident.
Occupational illnesses
Occupational illnesses caused by the specifics of the work over time are also covered by workers’ compensation. For example, a wrist injury from prolonged computer use is considered an occupational illness if your disability prevents you from working. Remember that treatment of work-related injuries is free, and you can receive compensation for time off when you have the appropriate documents. Even after returning to work, you can continue treatment free of charge if all the paperwork is filled out correctly.
