Having workers’ compensation insurance in place before anyone gets hurt is important and required in most instance. Then, if someone gets injured at work, the most important thing is to address the injury promptly and correctly, and to ensure that no other employees are at risk. Once you’ve dealt with the crisis, it’s important to gather all the available information about the incident. This includes talking with witnesses, taking photos of the injury site, obtaining security camera footage, etc. Next, as soon as possible, you should work with the employee to file a workers’ comp claim. After you’ve done that, it’s important to stay in contact with the employee as the claims process progresses. Open lines of communication are essential for getting the injured employee the care and compensation they need.
