After You're Injured on the Job
Knowing the first three steps protects your health and your claim. Here's what to do and what your rights are under federal law.

Report the Injury

3
Get Evaluated and Documented
Notify your employer in writing as soon as possible. Written notice is required within 30 days of the injury, and a formal claim within one year. Don't wait to see if it gets better.
Under the LHWCA, you select your treating physician. Your employer and their insurance carrier do not get to assign one for you. That choice is yours from the start.
Your initial medical report shapes everything that follows. Accurate documentation of causation and work restrictions is what keeps your claim moving.
