I got a 2nd degree burn at work changing the fryers. I was improperly trained and we are not supposed to change the fryers while there on but they made me I got burned and they continued to make me work. I didn't fill out and accident report until a week later and they offered no medical attention

Hello ted:

You sure might. Call a few lawyers in your area. You'll find out a lot from that. You might even find a lawyer who will take the case on a contingency basis, meaning that you don't pay unless you win.

You should have one to cover the cost of your medical treatment.

1. remember you are responsible to ask for medical treatment, they don't have to ask you to go, you are suppose to tell them you need to go.

2. you are suppose to tell them what happened, they are suppose to file the report.

3. just because you are injured don't mean you can get off work, if you were well enough to work, them most likely you would not have been allowed to get off.

You have to take some responsibility to get medical treatment if you need it. If first aid at the place of work is all you need, then that is all you need.
