Workplace Accident Basics

When you suffer a workplace injury, there are certain steps you should take in order to ensure that you receive the compensation and medical treatment you deserve.

• First, it is important to report the accident to your employer as soon as possible. Be sure to get this in writing, either through an email or an accident report form.
• Next, seek medical attention for your injuries. This is important not only for your health, but also for documenting the extent of your injuries. Be sure to keep all documentation of your medical treatment, including bills and receipts.
• Once you have seen a doctor, you should contact a workers’ compensation attorney. An experienced attorney will be able to guide you through the process of filing a claim and getting the benefits you deserve.
• Finally, be sure to follow your doctor’s orders for treatment and stay away from work until you have fully recovered. Returning to work too soon could jeopardize your chances of receiving full compensation for your injuries.

If you take these steps after suffering a workplace injury, you will be in a much better position to get the compensation and treatment you are entitled to.
