Stop what you’re doing and move away from any dangerous area or equipment. If you or anyone else is seriously injured, call 911 immediately.
Notify your supervisor or manager as soon as possible — even if the injury seems minor. Prompt reporting helps protect your workers’ compensation rights.
Write down the time, place, and details of the accident. Take photos or videos of the scene, equipment, and injuries. Collect witness names and contact information.
Ask to visit a workers’ compensation-approved doctor or clinic. Even if you feel fine, get checked out. Keep all medical records and doctor’s notes.
Complete an official accident report and submit it to your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. Keep copies of all forms and communication.
If your injury is serious or your claim is delayed or denied, contact a professional case management team like Vida Network for support with care coordination and legal protection.
Save all medical reports, employer communication, expenses, and any documents related to your injury and recovery.
Attend all medical appointments, follow your doctor’s recommendations, and keep your employer informed about your recovery progress.
