5 Things to Do After a Work Injury in PA, NJ, NY, or MD
Injured at work? These are the five things you need to do in the first 24 hours to protect your claim.
The Detail
Report to your supervisor in writing, get medical care, document everything, keep copies of every piece of paper, and call a workers’ comp lawyer before signing anything the insurer puts in front of you. Each of these steps protects evidence and preserves your right to benefits.
What This Means for Your Case
Every workers’ compensation case turns on the specific facts and the specific state’s law. The general principles in this post apply across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland, but the deadlines, procedures, and benefit formulas differ in important ways state to state.
