In Louisiana, every car owner is required to have Auto Insurance to cover injuries from a car crash. In Louisiana, every employer is required to carry workers comp insurance to cover work injuries. Insurance companies are literally falling over each other to handle work injuries. (insert article here)
If you were injured in an automobile accident you would bring a claim against the insurance company to help with your injuries. The same is true for a work accident. If you injure yourself at work you should bring a claim against the insurance company to help with your injuries. Do not think that you are going to burden your employer by making a work injury claim on the work injury policy that he is required to have.
