Missouri law requires employee’s injured on the job to provide notice of their injury to their employer. One of the first questions I ask potential clients is whether they gave their supervisor written notice of their injury. Usually the response in “no”. If you’re injured on the job you will help yourself by writing or typing a note to your supervisor stating that you suffered an on the job injury and provide the date and approximate time. There is no magic to this notice but it should be done within thirty days and you must keep a copy for yourself. By providing written notice of your injury you create a paper trail which removes a common defense employers and insurors use to deny claims. Find a report of injury form here.
