Question:
Should I Notify Management if I Was Injured in a Construction Accident?Answer:
One of the things I’m asked is, “If I’m injured on a job site in Naperville, doing construction work, should I notify management?” The answer is always yes. It is required under the Workers’ Compensation Act, as well as your ability to pursue a construction accident case, to notify at least your foreman, supervisor, manager or even a coworker that you’ve suffered an injury while working on a construction site.
Oftentimes the scene of the construction site can change, even after you report your injury. Also, if you finish the day and go home, and then try to come back the next day and claim you’ve been injured on the construction site the day before, there is a great chance that the manager, superintendent, general contractor foreman will not believe you when you go to report your injury. It’s important that you report your injury at the time it occurs so that it verifies that it happened; it helps protect the evidence.
If you have any questions about construction site injuries or anything that may have occurred with you while you’re working, please give us a call. We’d be happy to answer any questions that you have.
