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, employees are required to notify their employer of an injury within 30 days of the accident. This notification can be provided verbally to a supervisor, and there is generally no formal requirement for a written report. However, he emphasizes that documenting the notice in writing or submitting a written report is strongly advisable, as it helps prevent disputes or conflicting accounts regarding the injury and the circumstances surrounding it.
