COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases May Qualify You For Worker’s Compensation

Did your work have the necessary personal protective equipment on hand during the COVID-19 outbreak? Nurses can be exposed to other infectious illnesses during their workday like HIV, and tuberculosis. 

One thing that nurses should never do is ignore their injuries in order to continue caring for their patients. You can't properly care for another person if you aren't in the shape to do so safely. Instead, get the care you need for your injuries so that you'll be able to return to caring for your patients once you've healed. You may need to seek workers' compensation coverage to help cover the costs of care and provide you with partial wage replacement until you can return to work.

Don't Handle Your Workers Comp Case Alone!

Some people assume that they can handle their workers compensation case themselves. This is a mistake.

“If My Claim is Denied, Should I File This Under My Personal Health Insurance?”

One of the biggest questions I get asked is “If my claim is denied, should I file this under my personal health insurance?” This can be a huge mistake. Your health insurance might actually pay for your treatment surgery but in the end come back and revoke that payment and you could be responsible for that payment. At that point you would have to go forward to a hearing with an administrative law judge and this would be a mistake without an attorney.
