If you are injured while working at Costco, there are important steps you should take right away to protect your rights in a work injury case. First, report your injury to your supervisor immediately and make sure the incident is documented in writing. Do not rely only on Costco’s internal reporting process, as it may not fully protect your legal rights.
Second, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Not only is your health the priority, but proper medical records are also critical evidence in a non-subscriber case. Be careful if Costco tries to send you only to company-approved doctors, as they may not always act in your best interest.
Third, avoid giving written or recorded statements to Costco or its insurance representatives before consulting with an experienced work injury attorney. These statements can often be used against you to minimize or deny your Costco work injury claim.
Finally, contact Sandoval Armstrong, PLLC. We have extensive experience handling Costco work injury claims in North Texas and will guide you through each step of the process to ensure your rights are protected and that you pursue the compensation you deserve.
