Get Medical Care And Report Your Injury

Seek emergency medical attention, if appropriate. Then, report your injury to your employer within 30 days. If you don’t report the injury immediately, insurers can claim that it wasn’t very serious. If you are fired or laid off before you report the injury, it might be assumed that your claim is simply a vindictive act against the company.

It’s important to give everyone, including medical personnel, the same account of how the accident occurred.

Document Your On-The-Job Injury

Witnesses to the injury can be invaluable in confirming your case, so get statements from them as soon as possible. Take pictures. Keep all of your medical records. Be sure that all records and paperwork related to the injury are thorough and well-organized.
