First Steps After an Industrial Accident

If you or a loved one had a serious accident at a high-risk worksite, this is a critical time. The next few steps you take could shape the rest of your life. Fortunately, the first few steps are the same, regardless of job, employer, or injury. Once those steps are over and you realize what you're up against, you may want a lawyer's help. 

Here are the steps you need to follow:

• Seek medical help
• Notify employer of the injury, within 24 hours if possible
• Follow the doctor’s orders
