Oklahoma workers have a right to a safe work environment. If you’ve suffered an on the job injury, immediately notify your employer of your injury and request medical treatment. Your employer is required to carry workers’ compensation insurance coverage and should give you a workers’ compensation claim form to complete and return to him or her. You also should request your employer to provide immediate medical treatment

In some instances, legitimate workers’ compensation claims are denied by employers or their workers’ compensation insurance carriers. An employer or its workers’ compensation insurance carrier can claim you haven’t been injured, or that the injury you’ve suffered isn’t serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits, such as medical treatment, disability payments, and job retraining.
