If you are a California industrial worker who was injured on the job, below are some steps you should generally take to ensure the timely processing of your claim. It’s important to note that we share this information as a general public guide, but this should not be considered legal advice. Many of the steps below can be completed on your behalf by our team at Nyman Turkish PC.

• Report your injury. After a work-related injury incident, you will first want to report the injury to your employer in writing. If you are diagnosed with a Cumulative Trauma condition or Injury that has developed because of your job duties, you will also want to report this to your employer in writing. You will want to keep a copy for your records. Maintaining written documentation throughout your claim is important. 
• Get Medical Treatment. Get medical treatment for your condition. If you need emergency medical treatment call 911 or go to the emergency room. If you don’t need emergent care, be sure to contact your physician and set up an appointment as soon as possible.
• Complete Paperwork from Your Employer. After reporting an incident to your employer, your employer likely will give you additional paperwork to complete such as a claim form (DWC 1). If you are going forward with a claim without representation, be very careful when completing this documentation. This is a key part of your claim, and accuracy is incredibly important. We have found that many claimants prefer to have our team complete this form on their behalf.
• Follow Up with Your Employer. If you do not hear from your employer after completing a claim form, you will want to follow up to make sure that a claim was submitted to your employer’s Workers’ Compensation carrier to open up a new claim. If you or your employer delays in reporting the claim, your benefits may be delayed.
