Your employer should contact their workers’ compensation insurer immediately so a file can be set up on your behalf. Some employers are good about taking care of their employees while others are not. The same applies to workers’ compensation insurance companies. Sometimes they will give you all the benefits you are due. Other times they will try to take advantage of you. For these reasons, plus a number of other loopholes in the statute, you need experienced legal advice from the beginning. That way your rights will be clearly explained and you’ll be well protected.
