Who Should I Contact After Slipping at Work?

When you get injured at your workplace, it's understandable that you may not know who to contact. The truth is, you need to contact someone but not just anyone. This article answers the question of "who should I contact after slipping at work?" in detail. 

Seek Medical Attention 

Seeking medical attention is the most important thing to do when you slip at work. It's never advisable to ignore any kind of injury sustained after slipping and falling at your workplace. If necessary, call 911 and request an ambulance. 

This applies if you're in extreme pain. Don't attempt to resume your normal responsibilities at work after the injury. Your employer can't fire you because you're unable to work following the injury. Additionally, you're no use to your employer if you work while injured. 

Even if the injury seems mild, it's still advisable to seek professional treatment. For example, if you get bruised while at work, you may be tempted to ignore the injury. But did you know that the wound could become infected and grow into a bigger problem? Additionally, some injury-related complications don't show until many weeks or months later. So if you don't seek medical attention, it will be nearly impossible to link the injury to the slip and fall incident at work. 

When you visit a doctor, keep in mind the following tips:

  • keep copies of your medical treatment, including documentation, receipts, etc;
  • don't skip your medical appointments;
  • don't post about your condition on social media;
  • don't sign anything without talking to an attorney;
  • don't discuss your injury with anyone other than your doctor or attorney. 

So why exactly should you follow the tips mentioned above? Let's discuss that in detail. 

Firstly, almost every employee is entitled to workers' compensation regardless of their field of work.
