Time is of the essence
Unless the employer or supervisor has actual knowledge of the accident, as a general rule the worker must give written notice within 15 days. If notice has been given, then there is usually one year in which to make a formal claim for benefits. However, there are complicated exceptions to these rules, so it is very important that you contact Tiwald Law in order to learn whether you can make a claim.
It is extremely important to seek the advice of an experienced and knowledgeable attorney when you are in legal trouble. If you have been the victim of a personal injury due to the negligence, carelessness or abuse of another person, please contact us today to discuss your legal options.
