Paper trails

When we’re at work, and something bad happens, we’re supposed to be insured. Your employer is obliged to take insurance that covers any kind of accident at work, by law: it’s a part of workplace security. Just like the machines, computers or every kind of equipment used in your workplace is insured, as they are assets of the company, so are you, or so you should be – you and your colleagues may actually be the biggest assets the company has. But sometimes these things fall through or they go wrong, and that’s when things turn bad for you. 

The stories of people that think that they are covered by insurance only to find out too late that they aren’t are really striking. Especially when you’re depositing your trust in your employer and then the carpet gets pulled from under you in a quite unexpected way. This is when making a habit out of keeping a paper trail of all that you do starts to pay. Whether you’re being medically treated on your insurance or on your workplace’s insurance, you need to keep track of all the expenses you have related to your injury as well as all the information you get from your doctor, so you can have proof of these things in a pinch.
