Securing You Wisconsin Workers Compensation Claim By Properly Reporting Your Injury.
If you were injured at work, you will want to take the necessary steps to secure your right to make a claim under the Wisconsin Workers Compensation Program. It is beneficial to start the process properly in order to secure your claim. Here are a few tips:
If you are hurt at work, report it to your boss or supervisor right away, and then seek any necessary medical attention.This protects your health and your benefits.(As long as you reported the injury to your employer, you do not have to report the injury to the insurance company itself).
You can choose your own doctor or physician in Wisconsin, as long as they are properly qualified and licensed in the state of Wisconsin.You do not have to see a medical provider chosen by your employer for treatment.(However, later on in the case you may have to submit to an evaluation by a medical examiner chosen by your employer).
The cost of reasonable and necessary medical treatment are the responsibility of the worker's compensation insurance company.
If you miss three days of work due to your work injury or illness, you should start to receive checks for lost wages from the worker's compensation insurance company.
Make sure that you provide all medical work restrictions to your employer.
