What Should I Do If I Am Injured on the Job?
If you sustain a work-related injury, we understand that you are likely overwhelmed, scared, and in pain; however, it is still extremely important that you follow the proper protocol for your workers’ compensation claim. How you handle your injury can have a major impact on your claim.
Below are steps you should take after becoming injured on the job:
- Immediately inform your supervisor, manager, or superior of the injury. The sooner you report the injury, the better. Reporting an injury 30 or more days after the injury occurred can significantly reduce your chances of receiving compensation.
- If needed, get emergency medical treatment right away. Call 911 or visit the emergency room to ensure you are promptly seen by a medical professional. Make sure that you inform the medical staff that your injury is work-related.
- Submit a claim form (DCW-1) to your employer detailing your personal information and information about your injury.
- Complete an Application of Adjudication of Claim and submit it to the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.
- Complete a Declaration Pursuant to the Labor Code stating that your claim is true.
The workers’ compensation process is complex. Make sure you have the representation you deserve by calling the Law Offices of Delitala. Our Escondido workers’ comp lawyer is here to tell your story.
Can I Get Fired for a Work-Related Injury?
In California, it is against the law for an employer to fire or retaliate against an employee who sustained a work-related injury and decided to file a workers’ compensation claim. Additionally, it is illegal for your employer to retaliate against or fire any of your coworkers that testify in your case.
