Walk It Through: The Ladder Fall
Notice as soon as practicable, a mistake that does not mislead, and four years from knowing.
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, the insurer's process, and death claims in detail are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
