Need to Know: Workers Compensation

-

Many of us go to jobs that may require a lot of heavy lifting, dangerous equipment, or moving around. In these types of jobs safety measures are put in place so workers don’t get hurt or injured. But sometimes, the opposite happens. Even with all the safety procedures, workers can still get hurt. Luckily, there's a way they are compensated for their trouble and “rewarded” for their hard work. 

If you’ve ever been hurt or injured on the job, you're entitled to a workers compensation. Workers compensation, or workers comp, is an insurance providing wage replacement and medical attention to workers injured in the course of employment. Getting injured during work can become a burden, both financially and medically. Medical bills can pile up and there might not be enough money to pay them all, because you (the worker) wouldn’t be receiving a paycheck for work. Which can also leave unpaid bills. It’s important that you minimize the stress by inquiring about workers compensation. They are designed specifically to protect employees when they are injured in an accident during work or on the job. 


For those who don’t know about Workers compensation or how it works, you can contact an attorney. Or any law firm that deals with workers compensation. Oxner+Permar PLLC. for example, is a  firm located in Fayetteville, North Carolina that deals with workers compensation and can answer any and all questions you have. Another example would be Jason D. Mills and Associates, based in Nevada. Giving them a call, they could help you answer all your questions and guide you in a step-by-step process.

Advice from a Military Brat

The picture above means way more to some people then what most might perceive. To anyone in the armed forces, it may mean they have a duty to serve, protect, and fight for the people of the United States of America. And it comes with a value that's much bigger than the individual. Yes it's true, members of the armed forces make a lot of sacrifices everyday to ensure the safety and prosperity of the American people. But let's not forget what's backing them up, family. Military families offer just as much sacrifice as the soldiers do (probably even more, but you didn't hear that from me.) I myself am the daughter of an Army Officer, so I know what it means to make sacrifices. I think one of the biggest (and most stressful) things military children pass through is having to be the new kid, and adapting to new environments and communities. But I'm here to tell you it's not as bad as it seems. Okay, maybe it is a bit challenging; and I'll use myself as an exa...

My Guide For Health Workers

In my lifetime, I’ve worked in two separate job organizations geared towards the health and well being of elderly people. In other words, I was a caretaker. My major responsibilities were cleaning, cooking, and making sure the clients were comfortable and happy with their environment. I enjoyed talking with them and listening to stories they had to share. But inasmuch as I so enjoyed the jobs, there are many health risks associated with working with elderly people. One of the major health risks of the job is that it can sometimes be stressful. Many caretakers are providing services almost all day and even into the night. Meaning there is little time for work, friends, or other  family members. During my first year as a caregiver, I took care of my grandmother. For me, it wasn’t actually as stressful as most make it seem because I was around family 24/7; tied with the fact that I only worked on weekends and specific weekdays so I still went to school and made friends. But for people...
