Yes. Work injury insurance covers all illnesses and injuries caused by workplace activities. Repetitive motion injuries like tendonitis are not the result of an accident but can still be caused by work duties. Similarly, prolonged toxic exposure can lead to an illness that was not caused by one single incident.
If you are suffering from an injury caused by something at work, you are likely covered. Call Rendon & Associates to discuss the details of your situation if you are unsure.
That depends on the rules in your state. In Texas, you must see a doctor within the work injury network. If you are not sure whether or not your doctor qualifies, ask your employer who they prefer you see. Remember that in an emergency, getting medical treatment is the top priority. However, if treatment for your injury is non-emergent, it is in your best interest to contact your employer about which physician or practice you should visit.
Work injury claims don’t just cover medical bills. Below is a list of everything that your claim can cover:
Note: Work injury claims do not cover compensation for pain and suffering. In exchange for filing a work injury claim, you relinquish your right to sue your employer for more funds.
