Firstly, make sure the accident is reported to your employer if you have not already done so. The are responsible for reporting the injury to the Worker's Compensation Commission and providing your with a panel of 3 physcians to choose from. If they faile to do son, you can then file online using the WebFile system of the Commission. Once you register, a claim for benefits will need to be filed. If the claim is denied, see an attorney with your medical documentation.
