When a person is in a work related accident the compensation depends on the nature of ones injury, the circumstances surrounding the injury, the companies policies and procedures for such an incident, state laws, and the company's insurance policies. The first thing one needs to make sure of is that ones employer is required to have workers compensation. The second step is to make sure the injury sustained is work related and was caused while doing work related activities. One then needs to notify his employer of ones injury as soon as the injury is sustained and intent to seek work injury compensation. After this one will need to follow his or her employers policies and guidelines on workers compensation and fill out any requisite forms and/or go to a doctor to have them validate the injury.
