Many people are hesitant to use their worker rights with an economy in recession.  Some believe that if they seek workers compensation that they will be denied the compensation, and then will be let go.  If an individual is injured in a work place accident,  they deserve compensation for the injury. 

The worker should not be responsible for medical bill or other costs that are associated with being injured while on the job.  It is important for a company to provide the proper treatment and care to it's workers if they are injured. 

Do not be afraid to seek compensation for an injury.
