In my years of helping injured people, there are TWO QUESTIONS that almost ALL injured people have. So I answer them in this video for you!
Common Concerns: Scott addresses the two primary worries individuals have regarding workers' compensation cases: fear of repercussions at work for filing a claim and uncertainty about lawyer fees and compensation.
Advice on Medical Treatment: He advises against solely relying on company doctors, highlighting potential conflicts of interest, and suggests considering personal doctors for fairer treatment.
Timing of Legal Action: Distinguishes between those who seek legal counsel immediately and those who seek it after encountering issues with company or insurance treatment. Urges prompt action but acknowledges that delayed cases can be more complex.
Employment Security: Assures that in most cases, filing a workers' comp claim won't lead to termination, but acknowledges rare instances of retaliatory discharge. Emphasizes the importance of workplace integrity and health.
