AnswerIt depends on many other factors, but report it as soon as possible. Also, it is best to seek legal advice.AnswerIn most cases, an employee must report any injury suffered on the job to his/her employer immediately after the injury occurred. Failure to do so could result in the denial of any worker's compensation benefits. You should contact a labor and employment law attorney in your area for specific information on your case.
A condition resulting from a previous injury could be a sequela.
You may not be. Bad enough you were injured, but on the other hand, you could've informed your employer of you situation and simply ask for a leave of absence, which the law allows.
If you mean an EMPLOYER (you can't sue a job), then the answer is simple: If the employer allows you to receive workers comp benefits for your injury, then employer negligence is irrelevant, no suit is possible against the employer.
The first step should be to make a claim through your employer's accident procedures. This will at least register the accident. If one is seeking compensation one should contact a lawyer who specializes in injury claims.
