Workers Comp in Clemton Park — Where to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Clemton Park workers compensation claims commonly involve a quality control inspector on the line who's picked up standing-related foot pain or neck strain from constant overhead checks. What gets the wheels turning is small: the medical record from that first visit. Skip that step and the wage gap simply keeps widening. After it is on file, the insurer can release wages and approve scans.

Get your Certificate of Capacity

Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.

Notify your employer

You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
