What if the Injury Isn’t Serious? Do I Still Need to Report It?

If you take your chances on reporting the injury because it’s not too serious, you may miss your opportunity to claim workers’ compensation. Even if your injury becomes worse or disabling later, the insurance company could argue that your injury wasn’t serious enough for you to make a claim immediately. Waiting almost always harms your chances of a positive outcome in terms of compensation.
