What To Do
If you were just injured at work, here are the next steps to do:
1
Prioritize Safety and Seek Medical Help: If able, move to a safe area away from hazards. Report the incident to your supervisor immediately. Provide a factual account without admitting fault (stick to known facts). Note the incident report number or get a copy.
2
Do Not Admit Fault: Avoid statements that sound like an admission of fault like “I’m sorry” or anything that could imply blame to coworkers, witnesses, or supervisors. Even “I didn’t notice” can harm your case. Cooperate factually with authorities; avoid arguments or accusations.
3
Gather Evidence at the Scene (If Safe): If not severely injured, collect information and document the injury site:
- Exchange contact info with involved parties or witnesses.
- Get names and numbers of independent witnesses.
- Photograph equipment damage, hazard conditions, site layout, spills, debris, and injuries.
If unable due to injuries, ask a coworker or witness for help. Photos strengthen your case.
4
Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Prioritize health—get checked by first aid at the site. If recommended, go to the hospital, even if you feel “okay.” Adrenaline can hide serious issues. See a doctor within 24-48 hours for a full evaluation. This detects hidden injuries (e.g., strains, internal damage) and creates a medical record linking them to the incident.
5
Inform Your Employer (But Be Cautious): Report basics (when/where, involved parties) promptly as required. Do NOT give a detailed statement or details to any adjuster—yours or theirs—before consulting an attorney. Tell your employer the matter is under investigation and your lawyer will follow up. You’re not required to speak to third-party insurers.
6
Preserve Documentation and Receipts: Organize a file with:
- Incident report,
- Medical records,
- Hospital bills,
- Prescription receipts,
- Equipment repair estimates,
- Lost time records,
- Other relevant items.
Track missed work days and save correspondence to prove damages. Journal your recovery, noting pain, limitations, and daily impacts to support pain and suffering claims.
7
Contact a Work Injury Attorney Before Signing Anything: Consult with a qualified work injury lawyer promptly—before statements or settlements. Insurers aim to minimize payouts quickly. Don’t agree to any settlement or sign releases without advice; they’re often final. An experienced attorney from HY Attorneys will review your case for free in Nebraska or Iowa. If hired, we’ll handle insurers. Remember: The call is free, and you pay nothing upfront, so get professional guidance risk-free.
