- In the event of a work-related injury, workers should learn to protect their legitimate rights and interests with legal weapons. Some suggestions for lawyers:
- First determine whether it belongs to the scope of work injury
- After a work injury occurs, the worker should first determine whether it belongs to the scope of work injury.
- Collect evidence
- Seek evidence to prove the existence of labor relations. The labor relationship certification is a prerequisite for applying for work injury identification. Without the materials to prove the labor relationship, the labor security administrative department cannot perform work injury identification. The evidence that can prove the labor relationship mainly includes labor contracts, work permits, employment permits, and pay slips.
- Specify the name and address of the unit that suffered the work injury
- In the case of not participating in the work-related injury insurance, the employer is the bearer of the work-related injury insurance benefits; in the case of participating in the work-related injury insurance, in general, the unit should also bear part of the work-related injury insurance benefits. If you do not know the exact name and address of the employer, you cannot determine the object of recourse. In this case, once the work injury occurs, the worker cannot claim.
- Clarify whether the unit has applied for work injury identification
- Work injury identification is a very important part of dealing with work injuries. The identification of a work injury is first of all an obligation of the employer. If the employer does not apply for a work injury identification within the prescribed time limit, workers and their close relatives may apply within one year after the occurrence of the work injury.
- It should be noted that there is a certain time limit for applying for an industrial injury determination. After the time limit has expired, the labor security administrative department will not accept it, and the recourse to industrial injury insurance benefits will not be supported by arbitration or courts. Therefore, for the workers, don't underestimate the false promise of the creditor unit, so as not to miss the deadline for applying for work injury certification.
- Calculate the amount of work injury compensation based on the level of disability
- Negotiated settlements often occur in the case of not participating in work-related injury insurance. Due to the application for work-related injury determination, it may affect the unit's future work-related injury insurance payment rate or be punished by relevant departments. Unwilling to apply for work injury identification and labor capacity appraisal, but choose to negotiate the amount of compensation. Workers or relatives at work will also adopt a welcoming attitude in order to complete the work injury compensation as soon as possible. However, workers need to pay attention to the fact that if the negotiation does not meet the standard of compensation for work injury, the worker may ask the employer to make up for it; if the employer does not agree to make up, it is recommended that the worker adopt labor arbitration to protect his legitimate rights and interests. If the workers choose to solve the problem through consultation, they should consult more medical experts and lawyers. Where possible, it is better to have a lawyer come to negotiate work injury compensation and sign a compensation agreement.
