HOW TO COVER YOUR BASES AFTER A WORKPLACE INJURY
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention and take care of yourself first. You may not know the severity of your injuries, so ask to be immediately taken to the emergency room for a check up and x-rays.
Preserve the Evidence
Use your cell phone to take pictures of the location as the look of a construction site can change rapidly. It’s important to preserve the evidence and what the site looked like at the time of your accident. Take notes or ask someone to record names and addresses of witnesses.
Report and Review
Report the accident to your supervisor or a foreman. Ask to review the report even if you’re not asked to sign it.
