Workplace accidents
After a workplace accident, preserve the facts before they disappear.
Keep the accident report, medical documentation, employment information and any communications that explain what happened. The legal analysis depends on the circumstances.
For a time-sensitive case, include the accident date and any current notification or deadline in your first message.
First evidence
What happened, when, and which documents already exist?
- Date, time and place of the accident.
- Accident or employer report, where available.
- Medical records and relevant discharge or follow-up documents.
- Employment contract and information about the job being performed.
- Witnesses or written communications that may help establish the facts.
Do not send unnecessary sensitive medical or identification details in a first enquiry. Start with the essential context.
