If you have been injured at work or diagnosed with a work-related illness,
you should take the following steps to protect your rights and your future:
-
Report the incident to your employer. You need to inform your manager, supervisor, or other appropriate individual
at the company that you have been injured. IDepending on where you live,
you may have anywhere between 30-90 days to report your injury and file
the appropriate claim. Be sure to inform your employer in writing of what occurred. -
Seek medical attention. Depending on the severity of your injuries, seek emergency medical treatment
or visit a designated off-site healthcare provider as specified by your
employer. It is important to seek treatment at whatever facility is appropriate
based on the seriousness of your injury. Be sure to inform your healthcare
provider that your injury is work-related. -
Follow your doctor’s orders. Follow the treatment plan specified by your doctor so you have the greatest
opportunity of recovering as swiftly as possible. -
File your workers’ compensation claim. Depending on your location, your employer may be responsible for initiating
your workers’ comp claim, or they may be responsible for providing
you with the appropriate form to initiate the process. You may be able
to file the appropriate forms online or by mail. -
Talk to a lawyer about your case. Talking to a legal professional about your claim can prove helpful in
a number of ways. You can make sure you are on the right track, you can
get help if your employer has denied that your injuries are work-related,
and you can get assistance with an appeal if your claim was denied for
any reason. Legal representation may be necessary if you are to receive
full, fair benefits under your state’s workers’ compensation program.
