As a Grayslake workers’ compensation lawyer, Kirk has seen how complicated and confusing obtaining benefits can be after a workplace injury. Employers and their insurers may try to escape their legal obligations and deny benefits altogether or fight to reduce the amount they need to pay.

This is why it is so important to take the necessary steps to preserve all evidence of your claim from the moment the accident happens. The hours and days immediately following a workplace accident can be a blur. Knowing what to do in advance can help you preserve and protect your rights and make it less likely that problems will arise with your claim. Take the following steps after a workplace accident:

1. Report the Accident
   Report the accident to your supervisor, foreman, or another representative of your employer as soon as possible, including any pain or injuries you are experiencing. It is crucial that you notify your employer right away, as they may prefer that you receive medical treatment at a specific hospital, clinic, or walk-in facility for workers’ compensation purposes.
2. Try to Resolve Any Disputes with Your Employer
   If you are dissatisfied or uncomfortable with the physician you see for workers’ compensation purposes, or if an insurer denied your claim, speak with your employer about the situation. While employers aren’t thrilled about paying workers’ compensation benefits, they also don’t want to disrupt a positive relationship with a valued employee. If something is wrong with your workers’ compensation claim, give your company a chance to make things right. If they don’t, contact a Grayslake workplace compensation lawyer to express your concerns and get the benefits and compensation you deserve.
3. Take Pictures and Detailed Notes
   Gather evidence and save as much information as you can about the circumstances and conditions surrounding your accident. Take pictures and take notes about when and how the accident occurred, including what you were doing, any equipment you were using, the condition of the workplace and surrounding area, and your supervisor’s reaction and response after the accident. Also, identify any witnesses and note whether there were enough workers assigned to perform the task safely.
