Did You Get Hurt While Working at Getty?

A claim against Getty for workers’ compensation benefits might be able to provide some assistance to you during this time.
  • You were delivering products for Getty when you were involved in a crash. During the crash, you suffered a spinal injury and head trauma. You must undergo extensive medical care and complete thorough rehabilitation services. You are going to be out of work for quite some time. You hope a claim against Getty for workers’ comp benefits might be able to help you through this trying time.
  • As you were lifting stacks of supplies, you suffered a back injury. You will need intensive therapy for a while. During this time, you are going to be out of work for several weeks. Getty workers’ comp benefits might help you recover medical costs and some of your lost wages.

If you are hurt while working at Getty, you should tell someone in human resources or your supervisor right away.
