The first step to take after sustaining an on-the-job injury is to report the accident and injuries to a work supervisor or employer. The employer can then report the accident and injuries to their insurance company. The insurance company will then be in contact with various parties to verify the events because they are responsible for paying benefits. The next step to take following a work-related accident is to seek medical treatment at a local hospital or urgent care center. To maximize potential financial recovery, it is important to keep all medical treatment records and bills.
