In the aftermath of a work injury, you have a lot to deal with: from managing your health and healing to the process of pursuing workers' compensation. To make all aspects of your recovery more manageable, and to help a legal case that might eventually develop, you should meticulously document all the injuries you've sustained, as well as the impact they have had on your life. Below is a brief discussion of why such recording is essential.

How the Information Affects Your Claim

What you say in your accident report and on your workers' compensation claim will be used to determine whether you are covered. So, it is in your best interest to include on these forms every injury you've suffered as a result of your work incident. Be mindful of even the smallest details and setbacks. Keeping a running a list of your damages and the status of your recovery from each ensures the right information is provided and you get the resources you need.

Writing down every ache and pain can help you see the scope and severity of the issues you're facing, and you may even discover a pattern or the source of a specific problem. This can influence the treatment and care you receive, your healing, and any lawsuit you file.

You Deserve Compensation for Your Injuries

An injury can leave you unable to work in any capacity and present long-term and even lifelong health problems. If you need to appeal a workers' compensation denial or file a lawsuit, you deserve to have all the funds necessary for your recovery. The only way that can happen is if the workers' comp boards or the courts fully understand how injured you are; documenting your damages is the best path to providing this information.
