There are three things that you should avoid in relationship to your worker\u2019s compensation claim.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"LEFT\">The first is inconsistency. Your creditability is key in your worker\u2019s compensation case. Dates and descriptions of accidents are important. Not knowing how or when you got hurt can severely hinder your worker\u2019s compensation case and cause you to settle for less. I\u2019m sure you can see how reporting a date for your accident and then later changing it looks really bad. Mistakes happen, wrong dates can be reported. That necessarily won\u2019t be your Achilles Heel if you described the accident accurately, but it can hurt. Be honest with your employer. Never exaggerate to make your injury sound worse. Doing this can come back to bite you.\u3000 The best way to ensure that this doesn\u2019t happen is report an injury right away. Don\u2019t wait until it gets worse or say you will do it next week: report it right after the accident. Doing this will avoid a potential drop in value to your worker\u2019s compensation case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Fred Lewis and Mckaid Shepard Worker\u2019s compensation cases are all about getting you fair compensation.
