Send us Fan MailGetting hurt on the job is stressful enough, but what if your employer refuses to file your workers’ comp claim?Today we’re talking about what really happens when an employer ignores an injury report or tries to pay you off under the table. Brian breaks down the official triggers for a claim, like $400 in medical expenses or more than one missed day of work, and why insurance carriers can’t act if they never hear about your injury. From HR stonewalling to outright payoffs, Clarke and Brian explain your rights, the proper forms to file, and why having an attorney step in early ensures you don’t get taken advantage of. Here’s what we discuss in this episode:📝 Claim triggers – $400+ in medical bills or more than one missed workday requires a claim.🚫 Employer silence – If they don’t tell the carrier, your benefits never start.💵 Illegal payoffs – Employers cannot legally offer money to avoid filing a claim.📞 Go to HR – Ask for the workers’ comp carrier info directly.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
