How do you write statements for your employer on workmans comp?

Answer:

After an workplace injury, many employers request that an accident report be completed. You may be asked to complete an accident report if you are the injured employee, the injured employee's supervisor, or a witness to the injury.

Your employer may have a specific form for you to fill out, and different information will be needed for each specific injury, but generally, a written accident report should include, at a minimum:

-Date, time, and location of injury
-What happened
-Body parts that were injured
-What could have been done to prevent the injury

It is also a good idea to mention the name of the supervisor the injury was reported to and when, and when medical treatment was sought.
