What Do I DoIf I’m Hurt
at Work?

Put Yourself in a Position to Get the Most Support

If you’re an employee in Louisiana and you get hurt on the job, you should do three things right away:

1. Get medical care.
2. Report your injury to your supervisor.
3. Talk to a workers’ comp lawyer so your claim is filed.

Many Louisiana workers don’t realize that they’re covered by workers’ compensation, a program designed to give them financial support when a job injury derails them.

Even more, workers don’t know all the benefits they can get. Especially if an injury has seriously hindered their ability to make a living, these benefits can be life changing.

If your injury is an emergency—or really for any injury—your first priority should be to get you the medical care you need.

But as soon as possible, talk to a lawyer.

That’s because it’s easy to get shortchanged by this system. You may be entitled to more than you realize. A workers’ comp attorney knows what you should get and how to get it for you.
