Some workers had to fend for themselves. People working in dangerous industries are sometimes not paid when they had to take time off for injuries even when the injuries occurred during their work. And some would hide the reasons to their boss regarding their injury at work to avoid possible issues that may affect their work.
This is not good at all. You should not take for granted any incidences that happen during your work. It can do no good to you but problems. If you think that can resolve your issue regarding your boss, then you are wrong. A simple injury can grow into some complication if not treated by proper medication. It is any workers right to have compensation in their work. It is a much for each and every worker to have one. It would do a lot of help to you if you will be understanding and realizing different steps for you to have a claim during unexpected accidents happened.
