The first thing you should do is seek immediate medical attention. Even
if you aren’t in serious pain, a medical exam is a necessary part
of the claims process. Next, inform your employer of the incident in writing
within 30 days of the accident (or diagnosis in the case of an illness).
Again, this is a necessary step, so do this even if your employer already
knows about your accident. You should include a detailed description of
how the accident happened, including the date, time, and location it occurred.
Your employer will then provide you with the necessary paperwork and the
next steps.
