Tampa, FL workers’ compensation attorney Mark Lee discusses how much time you have to report an injury or illness to your employer. He explains that in most cases, there is a requirement for an employee to notify their employer of an injury within 30 days of the accident. This notice can be given verbally to a supervisor, and there is usually no need for a written report. However, it is advisable to insist on a written report or to document the notice in writing to avoid any potential confusion or disputes. Without written documentation, there may be a risk of conflicting accounts and uncertainty about what was said or agreed upon.
