The Best Care Options For Work Injuries

When you have been injured on the job, there are many steps you’ll need to take to get the compensation that you may be entitled to. Dealing with a work injury is a slightly different process from handling any other kind of injury or illness. Not only do you need medical attention, but you also need to do things in the right order and to fill out the correct paperwork along the way.

If you plan to file a claim for worker’s compensation, it’s vital that you follow the directions provided by your employer, and that you seek medical care at the right place. Getting appropriate medical care is important not just for your own health, but also for you to maximize your benefits. You should also consider hiring work related accident lawyers or a personal injury attorney to help you file a claim.

Even if your injury seems minor, please seek medical attention! Your employer should insist upon this, but if they don’t, still take it upon yourself to get treated. According to experts like personal injury lawyers, prompt and professional medical treatment is the pivotal step in any worker’s compensation claim.

Here are some things you need to know about getting care for a workplace injury.

If your injuries are severe or may threaten life or limb, go to your nearest emergency room. If your injuries are not severe enough to warrant a trip to the ER, talk to your employer’s representative about approved options for medical care. This is state-dependent. Many areas allow you to choose your own doctor for treatment, but some leave that up to the employer.

You may be able to receive medical care at a regular physician’s office or at a local urgent care clinic. You may also be referred to a specialist if needed. An urgent care clinic is often a great choice for many workplace injuries, because it has a minimal wait time and a high level of care quality, without the hassle of a hospital. If your injuries aren’t severe or life-threatening, check out the urgent care options near you.

DuPage Immediate Care is proud to offer convenient care for work-related injuries. Simply walk in or schedule your appointment today.
