I was injured in a construction accident. Are there any steps I should take before filing a claim?

 

A: Although every construction injury claim is unique, there are certain steps you can follow to help your claim:

• - Enter the details in your employer's record book as soon as possible.  If someone other than you enters the details, be sure to review what is recorded.
• - Collect names, addresses and phone numbers of anyone who -witnessed your accident
• - If possible, take photographs of the location of the accident as soon as possible as well as photos of any machinery, tools, vehicles or anything else that may have been involved
• - Photograph and document all visible injuries
• - Write down ALL details of the accident as soon as possible and include all details that led up to the accident
