Perhaps the most important thing to remember about work injuries is this: ALWAYS REPORT ANY INJURY IMMEDIATELY. If you fail to do so, and the injury turns out to be more severe than you thought, your claim for medical and wage benefits could be denied. When you report the injury, make sure that your employer documents it in writing. If you are not sure that a written report was made, submit a written notification to your employer yourself.
Sometimes serious injuries do not seem serious at first. Protect yourself. And, if it turns out that your injury is severe, get experienced legal advice. Unfortunately, you cannot count on your employer or its insurer to always do the right thing.
