Walk It Through: The Ladder Fall
Without regard to negligence, written notice in 30 days, and no firing for filing.
A warehouse worker falls from a ladder on shift and hurts a shoulder, and a supervisor says the fall was the worker's own fault.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One worker and one employer. Benefit amounts, medical disputes, and appeals board procedure are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
