What should I do after an accident occurs at work?

If you were injured during the scope of your employment, remember that you are potentially documenting your injury for the worker’s compensation insurance as though you were working, as well as a third party or employer who caused the injury.
As for your worker’s compensation claim, whether it happens in a store, office, or by a third party defendant, you want proof that you were working at the time of the accident.
If you were at work at the time it happened, ensure that the witnesses are documented, and statements are made by your manager as to what happened, how it happened, and what injuries you sustained. Ensure you retain a copy of this documentation for your records as well.
