Every employer is legally required to provide safe working conditions for all employees. Although there are many laws in place to protect employees, accidents at work are still extremely common. Many employees are not aware of all the possible dangers in their work environment until an accident occurs and it is too late.

Accidents can happen in all types of work places, from busy construction sites and warehouses, to everyday office environments. The good news is that Workers’ Compensation laws were created to protect you, the employee. If you have been hurt at work, it is extremely important to speak to  an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as possible. Our attorneys will fight to secure the medical care that you need to recover during this difficult time, and to ensure that you receive the compensation that you deserve.

The attorneys at Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD are ready to help you. If you have suffered an injury at work, we recommend the following steps:

1. Obtain first aid or any other necessary medical treatment as soon as possible. Your claim is strengthened if you have medical treatment on the date of the accident that provides an accurate history of how the accident happened and the injuries suffered. Make sure to list any and all body parts that were injured in the accident and give a descriptive history of the accident to all medical providers.

2. Notify your employer about the injury and the way in which it occurred, as soon as possible. Remember that notice given to a co-worker is not the same as notice given to your employer. If possible, report the accident in writing, have the supervisor sign the report, and save a copy of the report
