Seek medical treatment by a health care provider certified by the Workers’ Compensation Board
Notify your employer of your condition as soon as possible
Keep all paperwork and reports for your records
File a workers’ compensation claim
Consult with a qualified workplace injury attorney who can give you advice on how to get the maximum compensation available to you
