If you were injured at work before you were laid off, fired, furloughed, or told to go home because of the virus, you may also be eligible for Worker’s Compensation benefits. This could be from a specific injury or incident which happened at work or was work related in some way. It could also be a injury that occurred over time like a wear and tear injury that was the result of your job duties and activities such as warehouse work, assembly line work, keyboard/typing or any other type of repetitive work. Contact us as soon as possible as there are several timelines wherein you must file your claim for benefits. Failure to file on time may affect your Worker’s Compensation rights.
