How does the process generally work?
Obtain medical care and accurately explain that the injury is work-related and how it occurred.
Record the date, place and witnesses and notify the employer in a way that can later be documented.
Keep every medical record, sick note, wage record and relevant message.
Keep the factual description consistent across documents unless the facts genuinely require clarification.
