Seek medical attention as soon as possible. You need to document your injury and your necessary treatment, both for your health and for purposes of supporting a workers’ compensation claim. You should also find a lawyer who can help you document how you were injured, such as by interviewing co-workers or other witnesses, and acquiring photographic and video surveillance from your workplace. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney can also help guide you to obtain appropriate, necessary, and timely medical evaluations and treatment.
