Must I notify my employer if I am injured?
Yes. You must report an injury even if it seems minor and you do not intend to seek medical treatment. Even an injury that seems minor at the time of an accident can become worse later on, and you and your employer will need that paper trail should you seek compensation later. Additionally, you only have 120 days to notify your employer. After that reporting period has ended, your PA workers’ compensation claim may be denied because you failed to provide notification.
