How Difficult It is to Prove a Workers
Compensation Claim against Employer Without any
Witness?

  • Following an accident at work, you may end up
    with one or more injuries. The question is what
    do you do next?
  • As you may know, you may be eligible to receive
    compensation for your injuries. The way to do it
    is to file a workers compensation claim. If
    approved, the benefits will include compensation
    for
  • Lost wages (2/3)
  • Medical bills (fully paid current and any future
    medical bills)
  • Disability benefits (based on your level of
    disability)
  • Death benefits (in case of death, the surviving
    family members may obtain death benefits)

3
  • The only thing left to do is try to prove that
    you got injured on the job. However, proving that
    your injuries came from a work-related accident
    can be quite troublesome, especially with no
    witnesses involved. But there is a way to do it.
    Here are some guidelines that will help you prove
    a work comp claim even without any witnesses.

Speak With An Attorney
  • After getting injured at work, you should always
    seek legal help. If you do not have an attorney
    in mind, consider giving workers compensation
    attorney in Los Angeles a call. You will be
    offered a chance to schedule a free consultation,
    without any legal obligations.
  • If there is enough evidence to prove that you got
    injured on the job, an attorney will help you
    obtain work comp. However, you have to keep in
    mind that if the evidence is insufficient, it
    could be your fault for not being able to prove
    your case.

5
  • To prevent this from happening, you should always
    do everything in your power to ensure that your
    chances of success increase. This involves
  • Reporting the injury as soon as it happens
  • Consulting with your employer and asking for a
    list of appointed doctors
  • Not breaching the statute of limitations (30 days
    from the day of the injury)
  • Seeing the appointed doctor and getting treated
    right away
  • Calling your attorneys as soon as you are feeling
    better

6
Your Doctor Could Be The Key To Success
  • Even when you have no evidence that the injury
    happened at work, you have your doctors report.
    Once you are treated by an appointed doctor, you
    will have a doctors report stating that you did
    indeed suffer an injury lately. Keep in mind that
    if your attorney is able to connect that injury
    from the doctors report to something at your
    workplace, and if it makes perfect sense, it will
    be a lot easier to prove your case and get you
    the benefits you seek.

  • Another thing you should keep in mind is that you
    should only visit the appointed doctor visiting
    any other doctor will not allow you to recover
    medical bills. Once you get a copy of a doctors
    report, the workers compensation attorney in Los
    Angeles will use it to investigate the accident
    and your injury and find a connection between the
    two. After that, it will only be a matter of time
    before your work comp claim gets approved.
