Can I file a suit against an employer for a broken nose?

My advice would be to contact an attorney...possibly 2 different kinds or if one of the attorneys deals with both personal injury and workers compensation....I had a deal with a MAJOR health insurance company and I obtained a workers compensation attorney almost immediately...Yes you do have rights....good question

Technically you would be in breach of contract however as nothing in writing there is very little employer could do. Employer would have to prove they had suffered financial loss and wouldn't really be worth the effort to contest

I am a martial artist and a boxer and I have had my share of broken noses. First you can have a broken nose and not have it bleed, but it will swell up amd it will bruise. Now a good way o find out if it is broken... now bare with me, is to put your pinky fingers up the nasel passage and feel for any miss placement. This may hurt but it is the best way to find out on your own.\n  But you should go see a doctor because the is a chance that it could swell up more ad cut the air way through your nose.

You can sue them. In most states workman's comp. is required. If they are really liable they will pay dearly--I would rather pay your bills than have an official find out I didn't have workman's comp.

they can't fire you for an on the job injury regardless of how long you have been there, not only would you get unemployment if they did, but you would have a very strong case for a wrongfull termination lawsuit, in addition you sould seek punitive damages for the injury itself.

Did your friend tell the doctor/ER that it was a work related injury? Did he/she file a workman's comp claim? Call the state labor board and find out what can be done!

speak to a lawer dealing with employmeny issues, if he has a sicknote covering him and he was fired for that then there is a case, what the company may do is say that he was fired for another reason

That is a tough case for a workmans comp claim.  If you are serious you could file in a small claims court.  I bet you don't have enogh evidence to back your claim up though.  What you really should do is get over the old job and get a new one that you might like.  However, you probably will never be happy with any job.

You might still have a legitimate claim.  Workman's Compensation not only includes sudden injuries derived from work, but also the exacerbation of an existing illness or injury.  Therefore, if there is something inherent in your working environment that worsens this old injury you would be able to claim.  Be prepared for a fight.  Almost all claims are initially denied because the company knows that this will automatically dissuade a certain percentage of claimants from appealing the process.  Appeal!!  If you are part of a union, have the union lawyer represent you.  Don't give up without a fight and good luck.

As a workers' comp. attorney, it has been my experience that proceeding on a WC claim is a very long and tedious affair for injured workers.  It sounds like you are currently receiving some form of treatment, which is good.  It can take months to go to a hearing, and then months more if there is an appeal.\n\nIf you think your attorney is not diligently representing your interests, you are always free to get a second opinion.

It doesn't matter.\nThey are self-insured and since they are you can sue them for any negligence.\nFirst of all, you need to contact a personal injury attorney and tell them your story.\nYou are likely going to have to pay all of your medical bills for right now and probably have a very good case to make a recovery at some point, but it may take some time.\nYou really need to gather up and preserve as much evidence as you can.\nYou may need to find out if the area in the store was covered by a security camera.  You may need to preserve that right away, so you may need a subpoena, which means you need legal help on that soon.\nDon't delay.

if you file a workers comp claim and they denied it saying it was not work related or anything like that...you can filing your injuries with your health insurance.  there should be no reason why they wouldn't cover it, as long as you have some type of denial letter from the worker's comp company.  if you are asking if there is something further you can do for your workers comp case...depends on the state...trying seeing your state's department of insurance for them to tell you what rights you have and what next step you could take.

If I were you, contact the Ministry or Department of Labour as soon as possible. They take these actions very seriously and your company can be faced with huge fines (I mean huge fines), workers compensations, and also lawsuits that you can file. \n\nContact the Ministry/Department of Labour immediately and report this to them. Its you rights to know what is happening to you and you deserve every right no matter what.
