Is My Injury a Workers' Compensation Claim?
Chiropractic can help your work injury
If your injury occurred while working you most likely qualify for Workers' Compensation benefits. The injury will likely be covered whether it occurs at work or while you are performing work duties at another location.
If you experience a significant worsening of a pre-existing condition while working, the injury will likely be covered. As an example, you may experience a sprain/strain injury of your low back after already having a degenerative/arthritic condition in the low back. Workers' Compensation should cover the care to improve your sprain/strain injury, but not the pre-existing degenerative condition.
Work injuries related to repetitive movements likely qualify as well. An example would be wrist pain or numbness (carpal tunnel) that develops after repeated use of the hands or wrists.
There is no guarantee that you will receive Workers' Compensation. If you are hurt while intoxicated, or if you intentionally injure yourself, your claim may be denied.
