Ep 107: What Should You Do First After a Work Injury?

Send us Fan MailGetting injured at work is stressful enough and navigating workers’ comp on top of that can feel overwhelming. In this episode of The Verdict, lead workers’ comp attorney Brian Groesser joins Clarke to walk through the very first steps you should take after a workplace injury.From seeking immediate medical attention to documenting the incident while memories are fresh, Brian explains why timing matters. He also shares why calling an attorney early doesn’t cost you anything but can save you from major missteps later. We’ll use analogies from March Madness and even oil changes to highlight how having an experienced “coach” in your corner levels the playing field against insurance carriers who deal with these cases every day.You’ll also learn why many workers’ comp cases end in settlements that require resignation, and how being unprepared or unrepresented can leave you with pennies on the dollar and no job.Here’s what we discuss in this episode:🏥 Health first – Get immediate medical treatment before worrying about paperwork.📝 Report the incident quickly – Memories fade; document while details are fresh.📞 Call an attorney early – Initial consultations cost nothing and set you on the right path.🏀 Don’t play without a coach – Insurance carriers have experts; you need one too.⚠️ Settlements often require resignation – Don’t accept pennies on the dollar without guidance.Learn more about how Speaks Law Firm can help you: https://www.speakslaw.com/ Schedule your FREE case review: https://www.speakslaw.com/our-team/r-clarke-speaks/#contactFormTarget Find us on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3R40YMP
