A:
If you believe that the defense in your workers' compensation case tried to harm you or cause you harm, it's important to take immediate action to protect yourself.
First, you should seek medical attention to address any injuries or health issues that you are currently experiencing. You should also document any evidence that you have of the alleged harm or wrongdoing, such as medical records, emails, or witness statements.
Next, you may want to consider filing a complaint with the workers' compensation board or other relevant agency. You can provide the evidence that you have collected to support your complaint.
It's also important to consult with an attorney who specializes in workers' compensation cases. An attorney can advise you on your legal rights and options and can help you navigate the legal process to seek justice and compensation for any harm that you have suffered.
In addition to these steps, it may be helpful to reach out to local advocacy organizations for support and assistance. These organizations can provide resources and guidance on how to protect yourself and seek justice in situations like yours.
Overall, it's important to take swift and decisive action to protect yourself and seek justice if you believe that the defense in your workers' compensation case has caused you harm.
