⚖️ Workers' Compensation: Know Your Rights & How to Fight fo

---

If you've been injured on the job, you're entitled to compensation. But too often, workers are denied benefits, misled by employers, or pressured into returning to work before they’re ready. Let’s change that.

Workers’ compensation is insurance that provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment. In exchange, the worker typically gives up the right to sue the employer for negligence.

✅ On-the-job injuries (slips, falls, machinery accidents)
✅ Occupational illnesses (toxic exposure, repetitive strain injuries)
✅ Medical bills related to the injury
✅ Lost wages (temporary or permanent disability)
✅ Rehabilitation and physical therapy
✅ Vocational retraining if you can’t return to your old job
✅ Survivor benefits (if the injury results in death)

❌ Denying your injury happened at work
❌ Delaying medical treatment or payments
❌ Pressuring you to return to work too soon
❌ Retaliation or job termination after filing a claim
❌ Misclassifying you as an independent contractor

1. Report the injury to your employer ASAP (preferably in writing)
    
2. Seek medical attention and document everything
    
3. File a formal claim through your state’s workers' comp system
    
4. Keep records of communication, medical care, lost wages, and any retaliation
    
5. Do not sign anything without reading or consulting a legal advisor
