JUST got hurt at work? The first 24 hours can decide the fate of your claim. Don’t leave it to chance!
Hurt Friday afternoon or near shift end? Don’t wait, thinking you’ll ‘get better with rest’. Waiting lets your employer say you didn’t get hurt at work and fight the claim.
IMMEDIATELY tell your supervisor or co-worker. Fill out an incident report!
Leave work to get immediate medical care. Inform medical staff exactly how it happened at work. Specify ALL injured body parts.
Complete the BWC’s First Report of Injury by DETAILING EXACTLY what happened. LIST EVERY injured body part. A ‘minor’ ache today can lead to a major surgery tomorrow. Failing to list now may make it impossible to add later.
BWC’s initial process moves fast!! Mistakes are PERMANENT!! Get your claim started the right way, CALL Gruhin.
