Walk It Through: Hurt On The Job

A back injury lifting boxes: telling the employer, choosing a doctor, and the claim.

A back injury lifting boxes at work. It seemed minor at first.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

One back injury, one employer and one claim. Partial disability, the maximum weekly rate, settlements, and how the agency decides a disputed claim are not covered here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
