Reporting an Injury for a Worker’s Compensation Claim

Always report an injury as soon as it happens. Have a co-worker take pictures of the area so you can see exactly what happened and the immediate result. Tell your supervisor what you were doing, where the accident occurred, and what type of injury you think you received. If needed, call an ambulance.

Filing a Claim

The severity of the injury will determine whether or not the claim is filed before or after medical treatment is received. In most cases, your supervisor will give you the paperwork to take with you so that you can get the treatment you need as soon as possible.
