Answering Your Injury Questions
It is common to have questions after an accident at work. In our effort to support you through every step of your recovery process, we have taken the time to answer some of the more common questions you may have here:
What should I do if I am injured while working at a Cargill plant?
If you are injured at a Cargill protein processing plant, follow these steps:
- Seek immediate medical attention, no matter how minor your injuries may seem
- Report the injury to your supervisor as soon as possible
- Inform the medical provider that your injury is work-related during your visit
- File a workers’ compensation claim with your employer
- Reach out to us for further guidance through the rest of your claim
Taking these first steps can be critical to the success of any workers’ compensation claim.
Do I need to file a claim against Cargill?
Filing a workers’ compensation claim is actually filing a claim with your employer’s insurance provider. Additionally, most workers’ compensation claims keep you from filing a claim directly against the employer, which makes these claims especially important for your recovery process.
What benefits am I entitled to under workers’ compensation?
As an injured employee, your workers’ compensation claim entitles you to several forms of compensation, including:
- Payment of medical bills related to the injury
- Temporary or permanent wage replacement
- Rehabilitative services to help you return to work
- Death benefits for families in the event of a fatal injury
Our attorneys can review the unique consequences of your accident to ensure you receive the total settlement for your injuries.
What if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?
If your claim is denied, you still have options to recover the money you deserve. We can help you appeal the denial decision and guide you through every step of your appeal process. In your appeal, we will take further steps to bolster your claim by gathering all the available evidence and supporting documents to help you seek a resolution that reflects your needs.
Why should I hire a workers’ compensation lawyer?
Without the guidance of a skilled workers’ compensation lawyer, you may make a mistake that costs you the total payout you could receive with us at your side. Missing a deadline, failing to provide enough evidence or even seeing the wrong doctor can jeopardize your compensation claim. Our assistance can help minimize the time it takes to resolve your claim while also avoiding critical mistakes along the way.
