Workers’ Compensation FAQ: What Injured Employees in Should Know

When you’re hurt on the job, medical bills, lost wages, and job uncertainty can pile up quickly. If you’ve been injured at work in D.C., Maryland, or Virginia, these answers can help you take the right next steps.

The first step is to notify your supervisor or employer as soon as possible. This should ideally be done in writing to create a clear record of the incident. Seek medical attention and keep documentation of your injury, diagnosis, and treatment plan. Delay in reporting or seeking treatment could hurt your chances of receiving benefits. It’s also important to follow up with your employer or HR department about filing a claim.
