What is the first step an injured worker should take when injured on the job?

In North Carolina, an injured worker should notify his or her employer (supervisor, foreman, manager, boss) of the injury in writing. An injured worker should also complete a Form 18 – Notice of Accident to Employer and Claim of Employee, Representative or Dependent for NC Workers' Compensation Benefits. The employee should file the form with the North Carolina Industrial Commission and provide a copy to his employer and/or its insurance carrier, as well as keep a copy for his records. The Form 18 should be filed by the injured worker within 30 days, and must be filed within two years of the injury.
