When an <em><strong>on-the-job injury<\/strong><\/em> occurs, an employee is required to report the injury to the employer in writing. The employer has the right to choose the physician the employee is to see. The employer (or employer&#8217;s insurer) is also required to pay the medical expenses and wage losses arising from the injury. Once the employee reaches maximum medical improvement, an impairment rating is assigned, and the employee may be entitled to an award for his or her impairment.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the <em><strong>workers compensation system<\/strong><\/em> contains pitfalls for the unwary.
