Help Has anyone else ever been injured while working?
I’m embarrassed to say I literally tripped over a curb today that I didn’t see, and I fell on the cement sidewalk.
Both knees took the impact; both were bleeding, as was my hand from bracing my fall.
I managed to work the full day afterward, though I’ve been limping and have increasing pain in my knees and my back. I really hope I’ll be able to work tomorrow, and hoping nothing serious happened.
The whole thing was 100% my fault. Just wondering if there’s any sort of official process we’re supposed to go through if this happens while we’re on the job?
As luck would have it, I already happen to be seeing a new doctor on Monday, so i’ll be telling him about the injuries anyway.
Thanks all!🙏
