Notify your employer right away, and seek medical attention immediately. Keep thorough records of all your medical appointments and expenditures, such as prescription medications, surgeries, physical therapy, doctor's appointments, physical therapy or other rehabilitation, lost wages, and any other costs that were incurred as a result of your injuries.
