When you say you are sore, you should be specific about how you injured yourself, such as \u201cI hurt my shoulder while lifting materials.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Document everything. Record the name and title of the person you told, the date you reported it, and any witnesses.<\/li>\n<li>Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any tools or equipment involved. This is especially important for injured construction workers since it can support your workers&#8217; compensation claim.<\/li>\n<li>Seek medical treatment right away, even if the injury seems minor. Waiting can worsen your condition and hurt your case.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a detailed record of all care received. Rules for choosing a doctor are different in each state. In D.C. and Maryland, you can choose your own doctor. In Virginia, you must pick from a list given by your insurance company.<\/li>\n<li>Failing to report an injury quickly can hurt your workers&#8217; comp benefits, leaving you responsible for medical bills and lost wages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MEbByQ5_f_U?si=P1C2F1ntpgmZYgOY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We offer resources for every injured worker.
