What Should You Do If You Get Hurt at Work

No matter how cautious you are there is a chance that you may get hurt at work.  If you do, you may be wondering what you should do in the event.  Let’s take a look at several things you should do if you get hurt at work.

First you will want to report the accident immediately to your employer and get immediate medical attention from your employer’s authorized doctor or health care facility.

Next, as soon as you are able to you will want to document the events that led up to the accident and what happened before and after the accident including your injuries and any diagnosis made by a doctor or other healthcare provider you have seen since the accident occurred.

You will want to follow all of your doctor’s orders including attending doctor visits.  You may also be required to see an independent medical examiner to determine the extent of your injuries.

In some work-related accidents you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries. For more information about this and about how much your claim may be worth you can use a work injury compensation calculator for absolutely free from Accident Claims Calculator.
