The Injury
On the job injuries are a fact of life for many of today's workers, and the types of injuries vary as widely as the types of employment. Many injuries are "sudden onset" injuries, occurring in the blink of an eye. Other types of injuries are "cumulative", occurring over a period of time. Still other types of injuries are " occupational diseases", including certain respiratory conditions, infectious diseases, etc.
If you have been injured on the job, regardless of the type of injury, you should report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. If you require medical treatment, you should request it from your employer. If your employer is not providing medical treatment, or refuses to acknowledge your injury, your attorney can help.
