Use the reporting process
Report the event according to workplace rules and keep the date, recipient, report, and response.
Preserve job facts
Record the task, location, equipment, training, witnesses, employers, contractors, and written instructions.
Keep benefit communications
Save claim forms, medical directions, wage information, denials, and insurer or administrator contacts.
Ask about other parties
A lawyer can assess whether a vehicle owner, contractor, property operator, or product maker creates a separate issue.
