Injured at Work | Workers Compensation | Personal Injury


Injuries at the workplace happen all the time throughout East Texas. Injuries can range from a simple fall to severe injuries sustained in an automobile accident. When an individual becomes injured at work, it is important they follow proper steps and visit a physician that can address their personal injury. The Tyler, Texas physicians at Pain Recovery Center of Tyler specialize in injured workers, as well as workers’ compensation cases and claims. Our goal is to return workers back to the job as quickly as possible.

When someone becomes injured at work, they need to know what to do, and what not to do. The very first step is to obtain first aid or any other medical treatment that is necessary. If a physician is needed, it is important they are authorized by the workers’ compensation board and are experienced in cases and claims. The next step is to notify management. Management will need to know about the personal injury, when it occurred and the way in which it occurred. 

Following early treatment, an individual may feel fully recovered, or even worse. Pain physicians always encourage patients to be upfront and clear about pain level and symptoms, so they can better determine when the patient is able to safely return to work.
