What if You Met With An Injury At Work? Can You Claim it?

Before coming to the point of claiming the expense of injury happened at work, we would like to clear out, “What will be called an injury at work?” 

Injury caused by an accident at the time of your duty is called “Injury at Work”, it can also happen on your way to home or your way to office. If death occurs due to injuries at work then, legal heritors are entitled to pay the compensation for it.

At times of such injuries, all the treatment expenses will be borne by your employer.

You will be entitled to receive your full salary during your treatment for up to six months. In case if your treatment goes for more than six months then, you will receive half of your salary until your will be recovered fully or you will be shown permanently disabled.

Permanent disability is considered as similar to death in terms of compensation.

To get familiarized with work related injuries and degrees of disabilities; you can review the Chart No. 1 and Chart No. 2 of Labor Law No. 14. 

Can an employer deny the injury or death compensation in some cases? Is it legal?

Yes, it is legal when you are found to have injured yourself intentionally or you are found to have injuries or death under the influence of alcohol, narcotics or any other drug. It is also legal if you decline to undergo a medical checkup without acceptable reason or you refuse to follow proper treatment prescribed to you by the medical body. There is one more case in which it is legal that is if you have not followed the directions given regarding safety measures or you were mostly negligent in this regard.
