YOU MAY NOT WANT TO, BUT YOU HAVE TO Notifying Your Employer of a Work Injury
• Don’t let anyone put you off. If you’re in pain, be a pain. Go up the chain of command until someone takes action for you. Talk to human resources or the owner. You need help before your symptoms get much worse. • What should happen after I tell my employer I got hurt at work? Whoever you report it to should start the wheels turning to get you to the doctor. The workers’ compensation insurance company should be called to start your claim. A trip to the company doctor — paid for by the insurance company — should shortly follow. You might need to fill out some paperwork. And, speaking of paperwork, you need to know about some very important forms that can impact your rights such as the Form 12 and Form 50. After you do this, congratulations! You’ve done all you can to start your case. But you can’t always count on your employer to do it right, and you sure can’t depend on the insurance company to help you. It’s a complicated system that can take advantage of you, which is why I wrote a free book, “The Hurt Worker’s Toolkit,” (available on our website) to help you navigate the choppy waters of South Carolina workers’ comp.

You didn’t ask or try to get hurt on the job, but you did. Now, you have to deal with it, and you need to do it correctly because a multitude of important rights are at stake. You have a deadline, and if you wind up missing it, your rights are gone forever. So, who do you tell when you get hurt at work? Ideally, you should tell your supervisor or manager at the job site when it happens. If symptoms pop up when you’re off, tell your supervisor immediately upon returning back to work.
