How Should I Report An Injury At Work?
Michigan workers’ compensation law is designed to protect injured workers on the job. It covers medical treatment and lost wages, regardless of who is at fault. As such, you should report your work injury as fast as possible to facilitate your legal claim successfully. Here are the steps:
Seek medical attention: Get immediate medical care for serious injuries. For minor injuries, inform your supervisor and seek treatment soon. Your employer may choose your doctor for the first 28 days, although you may seek emergency care anywhere.
Notify your employer: If possible, report your injury to your head of department within 24 hours, providing details about how, when and where the injury occurred.
File a written report: If available, submit a written report of the incident using your employer’s form or write your own detailed account and keep a copy for your records.
Document everything: Keep records of all medical expenses related to your injury, including doctor visits, prescriptions and any missed work time.
Follow your doctor’s instructions: Adhere to your treatment plan and attend all follow-up appointments.
Observe your legal rights: Know that you’re entitled to medical benefits for work-related injury expenses and possibly wage loss benefits if you can’t work.
Be cautious with insurance companies: When dealing with your employer’s insurance company, remember your injury facts and avoid speculating.
Keep track of your claim: Follow up with your employer to confirm they’ve filed your claim with their workers’ compensation insurance carrier.
Know the timeframes: In Michigan, you have two years from the injury date to file for medical benefits and one year for wage loss benefits.
You must follow specific legal measures and channels to be compensated. We can navigate the complex workers’ compensation process for you so your claim is accurately filed and you receive the compensation and benefits you are entitled to under workers’ compensation law.
