What is the protocol if or when I get hurt on the job?
If you are hurt on the job, you will want to take several steps to protect your legal rights. First, you should immediately notify your employer of the injury. You have 30 days to report an injury to your company. If you delay reporting, your employer may not be required to provide workers’ compensation benefits.
Second, you should seek medical treatment for your injury. If you require emergency care, this should be done before notifying your employer of your injury. Employers are required to post a notice of the medical care network, also known as an MPN, that the company uses to treat injured employees.
Third, when receiving medical treatment, make sure to inform the doctor that the injury occurred while on-the-job. You should also be sure to tell your physician about all of your symptoms so that they can fully treat you — and so that the extent of your injuries is documented appropriately.
