What Steps Should I Take After Suffering a Workplace Injury?
The two most important aspects of filing a claim for compensation are:
- To obtain medical attention; and
- To inform your employer of your injury
Both tasks should be done as soon as possible.
You only have 30 days to inform your employer, which is why you should take immediate action. Your employer should have a claim forms you can fill out and submit. If your employer refuses to comply with you fling the claim, we can provide you with assistance. The reason that many employers dispute claims is to keep workers' compensation rates from increasing.
