I slip and fell at work what can I do

The best thing you could do would be to continue following-up with medical care so that you can get better, and consult with an experienced workers' compensation attorney. They usually do not charge for a first consultation. When you become injured at work, that makes it a workers' compensation claim. There may be issues connecting your medical problems to what happened at work, or it may go smoothly, but the way to deal with it is with your attorney who will know what to do, and who will be able to explain to you your rights and benefits. It should not be about what your manager wants, but rather, it should be about what you need. Also, depending on exactly where you fell at work, there is the possibility of there being some additional parties liable, which again, is something to discuss with an attorney.

It is important that you discuss this with a local workers' compensation attorney promptly. Statutes from state to state differ but there are limitations on the time in which you must present your claim, who you present the claim to, and also differences in the types of claims presented. Here in Montana you must advise your employer within 30 days or your claim is not allowed. If an employer refuses to submit a claim you can do so your self to the state department of labor. Again, you are in CT and different rules will apply that a local attorney will know and understand. A reputable WC attorney will provide a free consultation and will not accept you as a client if you can handle the administrative process on your own. where your employer has not been helpful in initiating a claim, at the very least you need to know your rights and duties to pursue this on your own. I would start with the search function and seek an opinion today. Good Luck

I would definitely make sure you report the injury as soon as possible, bypassing your manager if necessary. Typically, you will initially be evaluated by Concentra, Walk In, etc. and then will be able to choose a treating orthopaedist if the injury warrants future treatment, which is likely more appropriate than treatment with a chiropractor. Above all, you should consult with a local attorney who is experienced and regularly practices in the area of Workers' Compensation for further guidance and representation.

I agree with all answers above. DEFINATELY file a claim, continue medical treatment including an orthopedic evaluation, and consult with a Workers' Compensation attorney.
