Workmans comp protection
Many workers who are injured at work have no idea of the process and procedures that need to occur after their incident. If you are hurt on the job, it does not matter if it is something as minor as a superficial cut, or whether it is a traumatic injury like cutting yourself on a saw, there are several basic things you should do. If you do not follow any of the guidelines mentioned below, you may lose your rights and benefits under Carolina workers compensation law. Keep this information close at hand so that in the event that you are ever injured at work, you will be reasonably secure that your rights are protected:
Get a copy of the accident report and keep it in a safe place - If your supervisor does not prepare or fill out an incident report, then you need to write a letter stating the facts surrounding your injury and give a copy of the letter to your supervisor. Be sure the letter is dated and time stamped as a record of when you submitted the letter to your supervisor. It is not necessary, but it would be a great idea to send the letter by registered mail so that someone from the company will sign a receipt for having received it.
