Work injuries
Hurt on the job, from the first report to the last check
Report the injury to your supervisor, see a doctor and tell the doctor it happened at work. Then call us. We take it from there.
Most of the people we represent work with their hands: in the fields and orchards, in the packing sheds and cold storage, on loading docks, at construction sites and behind the wheel. The injuries are the ones that work brings. A ladder that slipped, a hand caught in a conveyor, a shoulder worn out by a season of picking, a back that went on the last pallet of the shift.
The claim is yours by right, but the paperwork is built for people who already know it. We file what needs filing, ask for the treatment your doctor recommends and watch the dates so nothing closes while you're still healing.

What we do while you heal
Get the claim opened right
We check the accident report and the doctor's report say the same thing, and file the claim with the details that matter.
Keep treatment moving
When the insurer stalls on a scan, a specialist or therapy, we ask for it in writing and follow up until there's an answer.
Keep the checks coming
If you can't work, you may be owed time-loss pay. We check it's figured on your real wages, overtime and seasonal work included.

Questions after an injury at work
How soon do I have to report the injury?
As soon as you can, to your supervisor and to the doctor. Deadlines to file a claim differ by state and by injury, and some are short. If time has passed, call us anyway and we'll check where you stand.
Can I see my own doctor?
Often you can choose, though some plans limit who treats you. Tell us who you've seen so far and we'll make sure the right doctor is on the claim.
What if the injury built up over time?
Injuries from repeating the same work, like a shoulder or wrist worn out over seasons, can be claims too. They need a doctor to connect the injury to the job, and we help you get that in writing.
