A Workplace Injury Doesn't Need to Set You Back - How to Avoid Losing Out on Pay

Work injury Lithia Springs, GA wasn't something I pondered about until I had my very first workplace accident a month ago. I was taking inventory of the warehouse when it occurred. A coworker in the other lane was employing the forklift to place a pallet, and in doing so bumped a box of DVD's off the ledge. The crate came crashing into my right shoulder. The brunt force smacked me to the concrete hard. Right when I collided with the concrete I discerned something was horribly amiss. The agony was immediate and acute. But my thoughts drifted elsewhere, because as a person without health care I didn't think I'd be able to pay for health care in case my boss ascertained some way to get out of footing my doctor bills for my freshly dislocated shoulder. Let's just say I've never trusted upper-management. Luckily, that wouldn't be an issue. My employer had smartly invested in workers compensation insurance. Basically I had no rational reason distrust them. My health clinic bills were already on their way to being paid. I was happy to learn the insurance company would even reimburse me for lost hours due to my accident.
