We understand that things are probably tough for you right now. But, here you are because you realized that you should know more about work injuries and how workers' comp can help. It's a step in the right direction. Injuries are made worse when you have to deal with your employer or their insurance company who seems to understand all of this so well and assures you to just trust them.
Then you think, Is what they are telling me true? Am I getting treated fairly or not? Am I being taken advantage of? Those are hard questions to answer if you've never been through this before. Prior to the injury, you probably didn't care that you knew so little about Workers Comp, but now that you are dealing with an injury, that lack of knowledge becomes scary.
Besides trying to figure out what doctors you're allowed to pick and what type of medical treatment you need to get better, life keeps happening around you. Your bills are still due every month even though you're out of work. Suddenly, this accident at work puts everything you've worked so hard for at risk.

Workers' Compensation covers on the job injuries that prevent a worker from doing the job they were hired to do.
Some of the most common injuries are back, neck, shoulder and knee injuries.
Although these conditions may be the result of an accident, many injuries are the result of repetitive motion, lifting, stooping, bending and other wear and tear on the body from working.
Any of these conditions can prevent you from working and may require surgery or on-going treatment for pain.
Many take a long time to heal.
