Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury
Report Your Accident & Injury
First, you need to alert your employer of a job-related accident and your injury right away. Both you and your employer may be required to fill out an injury report.
Go To Your Family Doctor
Get any necessary referrals and opinions written by your family doctor — not one provided by an employer or insurance company — and be sure to keep track of any accrued medical costs and time missed.
Report Your Accident & Injury
After filing a report with your employer and getting a full checkup from your doctor, contact me to determine if your injury is covered under the law. The quicker that I can begin fighting for you, the better.
