Am I entitled to a worker’s compensation? 35 Answers as of February 21, 2012

Your accident happened on the job, so you should be entitled workers compensation benefits. The statute normally gives you four days to file your claim, but there are exceptions to that. One exception is your employer and actual knowledge of your injury before your filing requirement. Pursue the workers' compensation claim, but if they deny your claim, contact an attorney and file a claim based on negligence.

You need to file a claim in order to protect and preserve your rights under the Worker's Compensation act. I'm assuming your employer is covered with workers compensation? The Worker's Compensation commission should also be able to answer your questions so you should contact them also.

Any time an employee is injured in the course of employment, the benefits available to the injured worker are specified in the state worker's compensation statute and not by what the employer feels like making the employee do. What you can do to make the employer shoulder the expense for treatment required as a result of an incident that occurred during the course of employment is to present a claim to the workers compensation insurer, and, if that fails, to request a hearing before the New Hampshire Department of Labor, Workers Compensation Division. Follow the rules requiring pre-submission of all medical reports and be sure the medical reports correctly substantiate the claim. Better yet, retain a workers compensation attorney who has done this before.
