Unfortunately, supervisors and employers sometimes refuse to make incident reports about employee injuries, even though the state requires it if more than three days are missed from work . If you’re in this position, write down your own description of what happened and submit it to them anyway, requesting that they sign and date it. If they refuse this, you can still submit your report to the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission with the help of your lawyer. Employers that fail to handle workers’ compensation claims appropriately are subject to penalties under the law, so don’t let their stubbornness stop you.
