Reporting Employee & Laboratory Injury/Illness

Four (4) Step Process:

1.  Report the Injury To Your Supervisor

Report any workplace injury or illness to your supervisor immediately.  Reporting promptly helps prevent problems and delays in receiving benefits, including medical care you may need to avoid further injury.  Click here for the accident reporting flow chart.

Transportation to/from clinics:

• Injured Employee drives their own car to clinic
• Injured employee w/out car may take taxi, UBER, Lyft etc.  Keep receipt and Sedgwick will reimburse
• ONLY as a last resort – An MPP may drive injured worker to clinic

(If you already have a Pre-designation of Personal Physician For Work Related Injury form, on file in Human Resources, you may seek treatment with that doctor.)

3.  If Treatment Beyond First Aid is Needed, You Must Complete the Employee's Claim for Workers' Compensation 

The supervisor will provide this form within one working day of learning about the injury or illness. This is required to request workers' compensation benefits. Fill out and sign the employee portion of the claim form. Describe the injury completely. Include every part of the body affected by the injury. Give the form to your supervisor to complete the employer portion. Forward the completed form to a CSUN Workers’ Compensation Specialist, employees with last names A-L send to deborah.stewart@csun.edu and employees with last names M-Z send to joyce.dacher@csun.edu. You have now "filed" a claim.  Click here for Human Resources Workers' Compensation Employee & Supervisor Injury Information
