Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Dear Law Guru,
My sister got an accident at work that got one of her fingers cutoff halfway. The company didn't send her to the ER. Instead, they put some Colton & stuff to stop her bleeding. Now she's still bleeding & in pain. What should she do? Please help.
Thank you,
Lynn

If the employer didn't send her to their workers compensation doctor and it's a very serious injury she she should go to either her healthcare provider or an ER/urgent care facility.
She should immediately go to ER and later retain an attorney to send her for further medical treatment. Please call me at 213-388-7070 for a free consultation. Once she is released from ER, I can send her to a worker's compensation doctor for further medical treatment and also in order to support her lawsuit with medical-legal documentation,
She should file a workers' compensation claim IF the employer has workers' comp insurance. If the employer does NOT have workers' comp insurance, she needs to call an employment law attorney.
