Question:

Should I report my workplace injury to my manager?

Answer:

I was recently asked whether or not it is important to notify a supervisor or employer that you’ve been injured at work. If you’ve been injured at work, it is important for you to contact your employer and let them know that you’ve been injured at work as soon as practical. If you’ve been injured at work, reach out to either your supervisor or human resources to let them know.

If the injury has happened over time and you don’t have a specific injury date, it’s still important for you to notify your employer that you’ve been injured at work. If you’ve been injured at work, but you still haven’t filed a claim, it’s still important to notify your employer that you’ve been injured at work, even if it’s been a week or two. If you’ve been injured at work and you have any questions regarding notification to your employer, feel free to give us a call. The attorneys with The Myers Law Group would love to answer your questions and we’d love to represent you.
