Employers are keen to have employees report ANY workplace incident right away. This does help documents when and where such accidents happen, but it also ends an important legal right the employee might have available to them. There is no duty to disclose what legal rights a worker is surrendering when they are filing a claim for Workers' Compensation benefits. In incidents where serious injuries are sustained, a worker could easily lose valuable legal rights by applying for Workers' Compensation benefits before consulting legal counsel.
