What To Do If You Have Been Injured At Work

Serving Clients Throughout The State of Michigan

Most employees and independent contractors in Michigan are covered under Michigan’s workers’ compensation insurance, in the event of a workplace injury. Although the process for filing a claim for medical benefits and lost earnings should be simple enough, most injured workers are new to the claims system and find the details quite frustrating.

Act Quickly To Report The Accident To Your Employer

If you have been injured at work in Michigan, the most important thing to remember is that you have a limited time to report the accident or injury to your employer. The Michigan Workers’ Compensation Agency (WCA) Overview of Medical Services states

A worker should notify the employer of an incident, injury, or illness occurring at work as soon as he/she is aware of the incident or injury. A worker has up to 2 years to file a claim under the Workers’ Disability Compensation Act.”

If the employer fails to report the injury to the WCA, the injured worker may report it himself or herself by calling toll free 844-287-6752 or 989-799-6611.

Keep A Record Of Everything

Getting your workers’ comp claim approved often hinges on little details. Make sure you keep an accurate record of details of the accident, medical records, witness contact information and any other circumstances that may be important evidence for the approval board.
