Didn’t tell your boss about your on the job injury? Just because you failed to report the injury doesn’t mean you will not be able to pursue an Ohio Workers’ Compensation claim for benefits. Although it is better to tell your supervisor and fill out an incident report, failing to do so doesn’t mean you will be foreclosed from filing a claim and obtaining benefits. Read on . . . If you got hurt on the job and didn’t tell your supervisor or didn’t fill out an incident report, it isn’t the end of your claim. Maybe you told a co-worker. If you did, ask the co-worker for a handwritten statement as to what he/she remembers what you said or did.
If you didn’t tell a co-worker, hopefully you told the doctor/nurse at the ER or the urgent care that you got hurt on the job and what you were doing when the injury took place.
Bottom line, don’t throw in the towel. There are time limits and there is a process that takes place once an Ohio Work Comp (OhioBWC) claim is filed. Discuss your situation with a Board Certified Ohio Workers’ Compensation Specialist Attorney.
