5 WAYS YOUR EMPLOYER IS PUTTING YOU IN DANGER No Treats Here — Only Tricks!

3. They force you to get treatment through the company doctor, and then slow down the process. Taking a suspiciously long time to coordinate treatment for your workplace injury isn’t by accident. The longer you wait to get treatment, the worse it is for your claim.

When a kid looking for candy says, “Trick or treat!” they’re giving you a choice. Would you rather drop a Twix bar in their bucket, or shout “boo!”? Halloween is full of these opportunities for good old-fashioned fun. But in our experience, the lightheartedness stops at the workplace.

4.

They put you back on the job too soon after an injury. Sometimes, you will get thrown back on full duty. Other times, they switch your job duties without proper training. Many times, they’re hoping you’ll either quit, or give them grounds to fire you for doing poor work.

Many employers here in Texas play tricks on their employees — but not the fun kind. They deceive, mislead, and mistreat

their team, especially when someone is injured on the job. Here are five tricky ways employers put their workers in danger:

1. They don’t have true workers’

5.

They fire you and lie about the real reason. If you filed a claim report about an injury and were fired soon after for “being two minutes late” or another minor infraction, the real reason might be your injury claim. None of this behavior is acceptable, and you shouldn’t stand for it! If you’ve experienced something like this— or if you have a friend or family member in this situation with their employer — reach out to our team for help. The sooner you do, the

compensation insurance. Most of the time if somebody is injured on the job, the employer is responsible for the medical expenses — and a small company might not have enough money to pay.

2. They make it hard to report an injury. Sometimes, a supervisor will try to sweep your injury under the rug and discourages you from making a report or filing a workers’ compensation claim. Follow your gut and make a report.
