Dog Daycare Center Accident Attorney In California

Most employees go to work every day thinking about the tasks they must complete and how to best do their job, impress their supervisor or employer, and how to succeed and move up in the company. Rarely do employees dwell on any hazards or dangers associated with their employment. However, even in the best jobs at a dog daycare center, there is the potential for injuries from an accident.

Even if you are being careful and paying attention to your surroundings and the dogs at the daycare center, some accidents can happen, including these common issues:

• Slip and fall on a wet floor
• Trip and fall
• Laceration or puncture wounds
• Burns

These are just a few accidents that can occur during a typical workday. But in many cases, these incidents that sound minor can cause severe injuries such as:

• Fractured or broken bones
• Dislocated joints
• Soft tissue damage, including strains, sprains, and muscle tears
• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Back, neck, and head injuries

These severe injuries will require a great deal of medical care that will quickly become very costly. And as an employee who was injured while working at a dog daycare center, you most likely have the right to seek compensation from worker’s comp for your injuries. The worker’s compensation experts at DTLA Law Group are here to assist you in securing the money you deserve to cover your medical bills and any qualifying lost wages through the California worker’s comp program.

Because your worker’s comp claim is filed through your employer, as they have been paying for the insurance, it is vital to notify your supervisor or employer of any injury or accident incident as soon as possible. If your injuries are severe or life-threatening, call emergency medical assistance first and follow their recommendations. However, once you have gotten emergency treatment, be sure that you or a loved one contacts your employer if they are unaware of the injury or accident.

Not only will your employer need to know about the injury, but it is also crucial to know that there is a 30-day time frame for you to file any worker’s comp claim. If you wait more than 30 days from the incident to notify worker’s comp of the injury, you could be denied benefits. In addition, when you file a claim with worker’s compensation for your injuries, most medical care providers will directly bill the insurance provider, and you will not be facing a mountain of medical bills while trying to focus on healing and your recovery.

As an employee at a dog daycare center, you could fall under the Veterinarian’s Rule regarding a dog bite. The rule states that by taking a job in a specific field, such as a vet, dog sitter, dog groomer, or working in a pet store or dog daycare center, you assume the risk of getting bit while on the job. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. The expert dog bite injury attorneys at DTLA Law Group will help you understand how these exceptions could apply to your case and how to best seek compensation for your dog bite injuries while working at a dog daycare center.

Your legal team at DTLA Law Group will help you determine the value of your claim for workers comp based on your bills and expenses related to your injury. In most cases, the medical bills are sent directly to worker’s comp for payment. However, you might need to submit documentation for any items you purchased for your medical care, such as a medical device like a cane or bandages for wound care. You will also need to gather documentation for lost wages due to your injury to request compensation. The DTLA staff will assist you in every step of the process to ensure that you get the compensation that is owed you as a result of your injuries at work.
