It can be done in the nearest Emergency Room, where you will be evaluated and administered any appropriate treatment. If you are unable to work, your employer will notify the insurance company and you will begin receiving checks to cover your wage loss within 15 days from your injury after your claim has been approved. It is also best to call your insurance company and verify that your employer has contacted them. When you recover, your employer contacts the insurance company to discontinue the wage-replacement checks as soon as you return to work. Do not wait till the last minute and file your claim as soon as possible. However, if your claim has been denied by your insurance company we may be able to help you.
