What To Do If You Have Experienced A Construction Site Injury

  1. When you experience an injury at your construction site you must seek medical attention immediately.
  2. Construction site workers should report any workplace injury quickly to their employer. If you hesitate to tell your employer about your incident you may be risking compensation for your injuries.
  3. After you report your injury your employer will carefully document all information having to do with your injury and then file a claim with the company’s insurance carrier. They will talk with all witnesses who may have been present at the time of the incident and write down any other details they think are important concerning your accident.
  4. When your employer‘s insurance company receives the claim they will look over the facts and make a decision to either approve or deny the claim.

Common Mistakes Made After A Construction Site Accident

A common mistake workers make after an accident on a job site is to not tell their employer about the incident right away. The problem with this is that your hesitation may call into question the credibility of your injury claim. Many people are also hesitant to report an on the job injury for fear of losing their job or because they believe their injury will get better with time. Unfortunately, their injury may worsen overtime, which is why reporting the incident promptly is so important.

Not reporting all of the injuries that have been sustained in a construction site accident is another mistake people make. It is very important to detail everything that is injured during your workplace accident. You should also make sure to report any symptoms experienced in the time period after the initial injury that resulted from the injury.

Lastly, many people do not receive proper treatment from their doctor after an on the job injury. Many believe they’re able to rest it off at home, but this could be costly. If you experience an injury on the construction site, you should make an appointment with your doctor right away.
