Walk It Through: The Ladder Fall
21 days to tell, a temporary payment without admitting liability, and three years to claim.
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, disputes over the injury, and occupational disease are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
