Award for Injured Workers

How can a regular worker get through with the pain from an accident in the workplace? Will he suffer in silence while his body deteriorates? How can he pay his bills if he is injured and cannot work?

A retail staff suffered broken bones from falling from a table while arranging the stocks on top of the cabinet   He used the table and chair instead of using the ladder. At one point you can commend the staff for being resourceful or blame him for the wrong move. The truth is that the business owner did not provide a ladder that is why the guy substituted the chair and table. Sadly, he was pressed for time that is why he used an improvised ladder. This is a typical story of an employee who sustained injury at work. He deserves to receive injury compensation. 

The compensation can help him pay for his bills like medicines, hospitalization, treatment, utilities and even trips going to the GP. It cannot really recover what was lost but it can somehow lighten the burden he carries. Afterall, he was not supposed to suffer the pain if only the owner provided the needed equipment. The compensation not only reimburses the expenses but also the pain and suffering that he endured. Actually, the compensation is not enough to bring back what was loss. There is no monetary value that can ease the pain of being injured. It’s immeasurable. Not to mention the loss time of enjoyment with family and friends, Plus the social gatherings that are memorable to him.  What about the simple daily activities that cannot be carried out because of the injury and hobbies that cannot be enjoyed? How about the scar that tainted his appearance? On top of that is the emotional turmoil that plagues him day and night. Stress, insecurity and helplessness surround him every now and then. Truly physical injury hurts. Underlying that are more complex issues that he needs to deal with. Financial burden weights him down and emotional struggle seems to pull him down. He deserves to be compensated.
