In this LawCall clip, the attorneys at Perry & Young explain how important timing is when it comes to reporting a work injury. Your employment contract may require you to report the injury within a certain number of days—sometimes as little as 48 hours. Missing that window could hurt your chances of getting benefits. They also highlight the need to check your contract and speak with a local attorney who understands your area’s laws.

If you’ve been hurt at work, don’t wait—contact Perry & Young at (850) 215-7777 or visit perry-young.com for a free consultation.
