There is an old saying which states “Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight”. If you attempt to handle a workers’ compensation claim without the proper tools, that is exactly what you are doing.

It provides detailed information on how to report and file your work injury; how to find the right doctor for your injury; how do you qualify for money benefits; and, what happens in a workers’ compensation hearing.
