What to do when Injured at Work

• Notify your employer of the injury
• Seek appropriate medical care
• Learn about company approved doctors and medical providers
• Make an appointment with an employer approved doctor
• Take detailed notes about the accident and your injuries
• Keep a journal detailing your visits to the doctor, medications prescribed, diagnosis, mileage to and from the doctor, and other relevant information (this could be very helpful later)
• Make sure that the first report of the injury and incident is properly documented with human resources/personnel
• Keep your employer updated with the status of your injury and your ability or inability to return to work
• Work toward recovering from the injury and returning to work if possible, even for light duty work when possible
