The FIRST thing to do if you suffer an injury at work (assuming you're not in an emergency situation), even before calling an attorney for advice, is to REPORT THE INJURY TO YOUR BOSS. By law, if you report an injury to your boss, s/he must give you a Claim Form (called a DWC-1). This is a one-page document where you'll list the date and location of your injury and the body parts injured. While this form can be amended later, it is important to list ALL BODY PARTS that were in any way affected by the incident.
