The following steps are not in any kind of chronological order, but should be followed immediately after the injury:

The first step would be to report the injury as soon as it occurs. Don't think that your injury is a minor one... it may worsen over a period of time.

However, if you are not able to make a report, then it is possible that you may lose your right to seek compensation benefits. Any type of injury that is by your employment may be compensable.

These kinds of things may include something like a back injury or carrying a brief case into work or out of work. Seriously...

It may also involve head injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, or no matter what. But it should be related to the work. It is necessary that you must make your report in writing and must have a copy with yourself also.

The next step would be to reduce the summary to writing. Just after the incident, you should submit the summary of the incident to an attorney. The summary should involve the date and time of the incident, to whom you have given your report of the injury, and the severe effects that are caused by the injury.

The next step would be seek medical care. It is quite obvious to seek medical care. When meeting with the doctor, you should tell him that the injury was incurred at work. Your statement will be recorded as part of the medical record. This record will further document your case. You must continue the medical care. You must jot down all the dates as well as times, when you appeared for medical treatment. The records should the date, time, location and medical professional that you saw in a chronological order.

The next step would be to maintain a clear list of all the names as well as addresses of medical care providers. This information will be provided to your attorney. This information will help you in the compensation process. You must maintain all the medical records. Save copies of all the medical bills, summaries, or treatment records.

The next step would be to maintain Workers Compensation Records such as any form, letter, mileage or medical bills.
