Walk It Through: Hurt on the Job Site

A fall from a ladder, a written report in ten days, a stamped copy within seven days, and two years to claim.

A worker falls from a ladder and hurts a wrist. The foreman says to see how it feels tomorrow.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A workplace accident with an ordinary injury. Occupational disease, a dispute over whether the worker was an employee, and the benefits themselves are left out.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
