Common Hospitality Injuries

There are surely countless ways to become injured while working in the hospitality industry, but some of the most common types we see include:

Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim

If you suffer an injury at work, it is vital that you report it your manager or supervisor as soon as possible. Doing so is the first step in the process of getting compensation for your injuries and any time off that you may need to heal. Once you’ve reported your injury, it is up to them to report it to their insurance provider and recommend a physician to evaluate your injury.

When to Involve a Lawyer

If you have reported your injury to your employer but the process has stalled, it’s time to retain an experienced and understanding workers’ compensation attorney. We will help you determine how to communicate to your employer what their responsibility is and urge them to pick up the pace. If they refuse to facilitate the process, we will file an official complaint on your behalf. In the event that they continue to serve as a roadblock, we will take them to court.

Bottom line, our team will ensure that you get the workers’ compensation benefits to which you are entitled.
