Re: Fall at work place
You should still be OK w/o an accident report, but you should immed. contact your employer and have him/her report the accident. You want to get to a work. comp. dr. ASAP. Most likely, the claim will be denied but if you can establish that the accident occurred at work then the claim should become compensable. There are, however, time ltd. that have to be considered.
Because you have not advised the employer of the accident, you should see a work comp. atty ASAP.
