Report and document appropriately
Use the applicable workplace reporting process, seek care, and keep the report, schedules, wage information, photographs, witness details, and benefit communications.
Map the worksite relationships
An employer, property owner, general contractor, subcontractor, staffing company, equipment supplier, or another company may have a role. Employment status and contracts require review.
Understand parallel systems
Workers’ compensation and a possible claim involving another party can follow different rules. Ask a qualified local lawyer how the systems interact before assuming one excludes the other.
