What to do after an accident at work?
Seek medical attention
Seek medical attention if you have been injured in any way. If you started feeling symptoms only after returning home or a few days after the accident, see a medical consultation. Your health is very important.
Inform your superior about the accident
If there was an accident, inform your manager about the accident. Your employer is responsible for safety in the workplace and it is important that they are informed of all accidents.
Ensure that the accident has been recorded in the accident log
This is not a required step in a compensation claim but it may be helpful to make a note in the accident book. If the supervisor has not noted the incident, you can write an email.
Collect all evidence related to the situation
Photos from the scene of the accident, photos of machines / equipment / irregularities that may have contributed to the accident will be useful.
Record the details of people who were present in the accident
It is not a necessary condition. Information about the case may not be clear and witness statements will be useful. Witnesses can also be people who saw you immediately after the accident.

FAQ
How much time do I have to start a compensation case?
Although most cases for damages are time-barred only after 3 years from the date of the incident, we recommend that you obtain legal advice and secure your case as soon as possible. Evidence can be lost, and if liability is disputed it can sometimes take time to obtain evidence from the Defendant. There are exceptions to the 3 years rule, for example, cases for children, battery, and others. If the accident occurred on sea or in the air, you have 2 years within which to bring a claim before the Court.
