If you have been injured in the workplace, there is a good chance that your employer is going to be a little frustrated with you. However, this doesn’t mean that they will be able to threaten your job. If for some reason your employer gives you a hard time about not being able to come back to work just yet, it may be time to sit down with Jack J. Schmerling Attorney at Law.
Maybe you don’t realize that your employer is legally responsible to take care of these situations. If you are unable to work due to a workplace injury, workers compensation is supposed to step in and write you a check so that you can still take care of yourself until your body is physically capable of going back to work and a doctor has released you to do so. If your employer didn’t purchase workers compensation insurance, you may have a problem on your hands.
Set up an appointment for a Workers comp Consultation in Pasadena as soon as possible. This way, you can talk with an attorney to find out what you need to do in order to get the money that you are rightfully entitled to. If your employer tells you that you need to come back to work or you are going to lose your job, you definitely need an attorney. After all, it is illegal for an employer to do this.
You are probably a little intimidated by your employer because at one time you felt as if you could trust them. Now, everything is turned completely upside down. There is a good chance that you are confused about everything that is going on. This is why you need to find an attorney that you can trust. You need someone to help you to understand which way to turn. Someone who can get you back on the right path. Take your time and allow your body to heal so that you can get feeling better and hopefully return to work. Hopefully, you don’t have any long term health problems due to this accident.
