Importance of Documentation
Posted by: Bob Menard
June 17, 2009

Please remember that documents, such as the accident report and your medical records, are keys to your case. These documents can get you the benefits that are due and owing to you.

The accident report must be made with your employer as soon as possible. Document exactly how the accident happened and what body parts was injured. Notify your superior as soon as the accident occurs, so that the documentation process can begin immediately.

Medical records are the most important documents for your case. They are vital to your worker's compensation case, as they are the evidence of the cause of the injuries, evidence of the injuries that occurred, as well as the extent of the injuries. Please be sure to tell your health care provider that this injury occurred at work. Some clients forget to tell their doctors that their injuries occurred at work, and this can become a problem later on.

Keep in mind that documents, such as medical records, are vital to your case and are the means of support that will get you the benefits you are owed.
