![]() You’re injured at work, now some injuries, obviously you’re going to be transported out of there by an ambulance. When you’re injured, you need to seek medical treatment immediately or as fast and as soon as possible because that is what kicks in the start or the initiation of a workers’ compensation claim in West Virginia. I would give a ballpark figure within two weeks. I’ve seen some incredibly poor administration and some of these workers’ comp insurance companies, particularly out of state, but if you get ones that are used to dealing with West Virginia, you will get your temporary total disability benefits started. It could be anywhere from one week to six months. They are available to injured workers who cannot go back to their previous employment, their past relevant work. And then finally, if you’re unable to go back to your work, if your injury is very, very severe, there are vocational rehabilitation programs. It’s called temporary total disability benefits paid to you by the worker’s comp insurance company. In addition, if you’re off work and unable to work due to your work-related injury, you’ll have lost wages and you’ll get replacement wages. 100% of your medical treatment is paid for by the worker’s comp insurance company. It’s 100% paid for unlike if you were to use your health insurance and go to the hospital for something, you have copays to deal with, you have deductibles to deal with, but not with worker’s comp.
