Be sure to inform your employer of the incident and injury. Make records of your verbal conversations with supervisors and submit a written or e-mailed disclosure of the incident as proof. Be sure to report the incident as soon as you can. Your employer should ask you to fill out a workplace incident report explaining the details of the injury. 

Keep all the documentation you’ve made in the two previous steps safe and at hand. All the medical records written by the doctor and communications recorded between you and your employer will be used when submitting your claim for workers’ compensation.

These documents will ensure that you receive full and proper care for injuries sustained at work. They become especially important when identifying the long term effect of injuries.

Hiring an experienced workers’ compensation attorney can help you navigate the complexities of making your claim. With the documentation you collected in the first two steps, your medical records and your employer report, an experienced attorney can do their best to ensure you the full compensation you deserve. You’ll be taken care of financially so you can focus on your health and recovery.
