Getting hurt at work

Getting hurt at work can be a tricky situation…

whether it is severe or minute, make sure you document it.  An injury may not seam like a big deal at first, but once you get yourself to the doctor, you could realize just how injured or costly it could be.

  • A Stumble off an unsafe ladder – maybe you think you just sprained your ankle.  After a few days the pain isn’t going away, you go to the doctor & realize that you fractures or tore muscles.  Now you will have doctor and possible physical therapy bills.
  • Severe accidents – you never know what could be a problem later.

For your own benefit, document, document, document!  This way your employer will believe you a week down the road when you say you were hurt on the job.  It will make everything a little easier. =)
