Your immediate priority is the care of the injured employee. If medical attention is required, they should be transported to the nearest emergency room. Make sure you properly document the whole incident, too—when, where, why, what, who and anything else you can think of.
Any follow-up treatment, or initial treatment if the incident was only a minor, non-threatening injury, should be handled within the network of medical providers listed by your workers’ compensation insurance policy.
When you file a claim, you will need to provide your insurance company with:
The injured employee’s name, contact information and wage information
A written statement documenting how they were injured
Witness statements and accident scene information
The name(s) of any medical provider(s) who treated the injury
Photographs of the object that caused the injury, if applicable
Your workers' compensation insurance company will then work with you and your employee to handle any ongoing treatment needs for the injury.
