4 Tips for Construction Workers after a Work Injury

Construction workers are surrounded by danger every day at work. Here are a few tips specifically geared at construction workers who are injured in a workplace accident.

Get Immediate Medical Help, if Necessary

The first rule of any work injury is to get immediate medical attention if you need it. Don’t worry about any work comp issues until you take care of your own health.

Document the Details

Make note of all the details surrounding your accident, to the best of your ability. If your injuries are mild and don’t require immediate attention, take some pictures of the area of injury, and make note of who was present. If your injuries do require urgent care, go back to the injury site later and document the details. These details will be invaluable if your injury claim is disputed.

Inform Your Boss

Though you may not want to, you need to inform your employer about the injury as well. If you don’t tell your boss about the injury, the work comp claims process will not begin.

Call an Attorney

After you’ve taken these steps, pick up the phone and call a local attorney in your area. A work comp lawyer will stand by your side and defend your rights against the interests of your employer and their insurance company.
