QUESTION
Is there anything I can do if I suffered an electrical shock but the upper management has little regard for my injury?

More details to this question:
The warehouse fan was not grounded. When I touched the fan to turn it off, I was thrown back about 10 feet, landing on my back and hitting my head. I might of lost consciousness but I don't know for sure. I went to seek medical attention and at the time really didn't feel that bad. Four days later, I am in suffering pain in my back and neck. I don't know if there is any other damage, but I seem to be getting worse as time progresses.

If you become ill or injured, and the illness or injury arises out of the employment, you have a worker's compensation case. Report it to the company, and they are supposed to send you for medical care. If they do not, then go to your own doctor, or a hospital, ASAP. Be sure to accurately explain what happened and how you were thrown, and how you hit the ground. Then contact a lawyer who specializes in workers comp cases "just in case."
