The process typically involves documenting injuries, gathering medical records, handling insurance interactions, and pursuing settlement or litigation when needed.
A workplace injury is harm that occurs on the job or as a result of work activity. A catastrophic injury is a severe, often life-changing injury with substantial medical and financial consequences.
Key steps include an initial case evaluation, evidence collection, medical coordination, negotiations with insurers, and pursuing a claim through settlement or court action if necessary.
This glossary explains common terms you may hear during your workplace and catastrophic injury claim.
Injury or illness arising from work duties or the work environment, including slips, falls, and equipment-related incidents.
A severe injury with long-term or permanent effects that may require ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and significant compensation.
