Well, anytime you have an injury at work, even the most minor injury, the first thing you should do is report it to your employer. That’s really necessary, and it’s required that you report it within 30 days. Then, you do have up to two years to file a claim, but really if you’re injured, you should file the claim as soon as possible. Especially if you’re out of work, you are entitled to lost wage benefits and to free medical treatment for your injuries.
