Have you been injured while a work? You may or may not know that most employees are able to claim workers' compensation which is designed to give workers a measure of protection if safety standards at their place of employment are not as good as they should be. Generally, the majority of employers have workers' compensation insurance which injured employees use when they are successful making a claim. Claiming workers' compensation is not that easy. Employers often make it hard to gain compensation and many insurance companies can also drag their feet when it comes to paying compensation for their clients. It is essential that all injured employees let their employers (supervisors or managers) know about their injuries and how the accident took place. Carabbra’s Italian Grill Carabbra’s is a chain of Italian restaurants which has its headquarters in Tampa, Florida. There were over 240 restaurants in the chain as of last count. The restaurants are now owned by Bloomin’ Brands, which also owns other Italian-American restaurant chains. The name comes from the original founder, Johnny Carabbra. He opened the first restaurant with his uncle. Many of the meals on offer at Carabbra’s are a little unusual as they are recipes of one of Johnny Carabbra’s older relatives, Grace. One of these meals is composed of grilled chicken with sun-dried tomatoes, a lemon-butter sauce with basil and caprino cheese. Accident Scenarios at Carabbra’s Italian Grill Accidents while working at a Carabbra’s Italian Grill are not common, but they could certainly take place. There are a variety of accident scenarios ranging from burns to slip and fall injuries. Here are just a few hypothetical examples: While attending the grill you burn your hand as the handling mechanism is not working well. The burns are quite severe and you need surgery to replace the burned skin with a new skin graft. You will also have to take several weeks off work. The Carabbra’s workers' comp claim would help to pay the surgery bills, after treatment support and a portion of the lost wages. While mopping out the rest rooms, you slip over and land on your back. You have to be taken to hospital with a dislodged intravertebral disc. This is very painful and it might take several weeks to repair itself. A Carabbra’s workers' comp payment can help pay for medical treatment and lost wages. While cutting vegetables, a small part of one of your index fingers is cut off. There may be enough time to get the portion of the finger reattached, but this does cost a lot of money. Even if it cannot be reattached, you will need surgery to cover the end of the finger. This is just the sort of situation where a satisfactory workers' compensation payment can help you to repair a part of your body that would never have been damaged if you weren’t at work.
