It is important to report your work-related injury to your supervisor, manager, or human resources department.
You need to be seen by a doctor even if you feel okay in the moment. It can take time for symptoms to develop and a doctor can ensure you arenot suffering from a dangerous internal injury. Seeking treatment is also important for establishing a medical record for any necessary workers’ compensation or third-party personal injury claim that arises from your injury.
Now is not the time to say “I’m fine”, “I’ll be okay”, or “Sorry, that was my fault.” These seemingly innocent comments in the aftermath of your injury could harm your ability to collect the benefits and compensation you deserve.
