Report your injuries to your employer in writing as soon as possible. In California, injured workers have 30 days to report their injury in order to remain eligible for workers' compensation. Even if you pursue other forms of recovery for your injury, reporting the accident in a timely manner remains crucial to supporting your claim.
2. Seek medical care, if necessary. If the need for medical care is not urgent, ask your employer if you must visit a specific in-network medical facility to receive workers' comp coverage.
