Should I report a work injury? Generally, if you tell your employer within 14 days after the injury, you have provided timely notice. If you tell your employer between 15 and 30 days after your injury, your employer may deny your claim due to late notice. If you tell your employer between 31 and 180 days after your injury, your employer is allowed to deny your claim for late notice. However, there are certain exceptions. If you tell your employer more than 180 days after your injury, no workers’ compensation benefits are allowed unless you did not give notice because of a serious injury or illness. Again, to meet the exception, you have to meet certain criteria. Please call our office to discuss.
