Report the Injury

Report the Injury
Report your injury as soon as possible to your employer. You have to be concise, clear, and precise about how you sustained the injuries and how the accident occurred.
This way, your injury claim won’t be denied because you’ve reported it immediately.

Get an Accident Report
Make sure your employer files an accident report so you have evidence that can prove your injury. Remember to keep a copy of the report.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines, your employers are supposed to keep workplace injury reports available.

Keep a Record of Interactions
You must keep a thorough record of dates and times when you interact with any representative of your employer or insurance company.
Keep a track of what you and they exactly said during the conversation. Also, keep track of anyone else who was present at the meeting. This can later prove to be important evidence if your claim is denied or delayed.
