How do I know if I have a workers compensation claim?
A workers compensation claim is essentially a personal injury that occurs on the job, and it is related somehow to your work. Sometimes the injury can occur over time. (Carpal tunnel syndrome is an example of an injury that could be a workers compensation claim that has occurred over time.) If you believe you have an on-the-job injury, you should speak with an attorney. Workers compensation insurance companies many times deny claims that should receive compensation, and the rules for acceptance of a claim are complex.
