Companies have a responsibility to protect employees’ health and well-being. However, accidents sometimes happen that leave workers suffering personal injuries.

Recently, an explosion at an ammunition manufacturing facility just outside Nashville on April 16 left four workers with varying injuries.

According to an article from The Republic, officials are still unsure of what caused the explosion, but added the incident blew out two walls and the roof of the building, which left four workers requiring treatment for blast injuries.

The incident leaves many workers wondering what they should do if they are injured on the job. The Nashville Workers’ Compensation Lawyers with Ponce Law explain there are three steps an injured worker should take the following steps:

  1. File A Claim- Most businesses are required to carry an insurance policy to cover expenses associated with a work-related injury, such as medical bills and lost wages. So, filing a claim for workers’ compensation benefits with that insurer should be the first course of action considered by an injured worker.
  2. Collect Evidence- Hold on to any documentation that can be gathered regarding expenses you have incurred as a result of your injury. This can include food, fuel, and lodging, among other things.
  3. Speak With An Attorney- The procedures surrounding reaching a settlement in a workers’ compensation claim can be confusing, which is why having quality legal representation by your side is crucial throughout the workers’ compensation process.

    After my car accident, I wasn’t sure if I needed an attorney. I called Ponce Law for a free consultation. I’m so glad I made the call. I wanted a local attorney, and from the first call, to when my case was settled, I felt heard, valued, and taken care of.

    I was on I-40 coming into Nashville and a car ran into the back of me. The accident was serious, and I needed surgery. I did ask an attorney friend of mine whom I should call, and he said call Ponce Law. The folks at Ponce Law were outstanding and got us a large settlement.
