One type of resolution is known as the claim stipulation and award. Before you discuss payment with your employer, however, your workers’ compensation claim needs to be approved.

Workplace Slip-and-Fall Injuries
Have you ever had a slip-and-fall? I don’t know about you, but the first thing “I do” when I tumble is try to do it gracefully. The next order of business is to thrust my hands out in front of me (or in the back of me) and try to protect my face or backside. I am trying to break my fall rather than my nose or tailbone. Once I contact the solid ground (ouch), I look around, hoping no one saw what just went down. Even if my fall was not seen — it probably was felt and heard. Thump, bump-bump….expletive!
