Organise the records for a workers’ compensation claim
A workers’ compensation record is easier to review when the injury, medical treatment, work capacity, employer reporting and insurer contacts are organised in date order. Keep the original documents, record what each source shows and flag missing information rather than guessing. The exact forms, certificates and deadlines depend on the worker’s location and scheme.

Incident and reporting
- Incident report
- Witness details
- Employer notification
- Workplace photographs where lawful
- Initial medical attendance
Medical and work capacity
Keep certificates, treatment records supplied to you, work-capacity documents and appointment history securely.
Wages and duties
Preserve payslips, ordinary duties, modified duties, time away from work and relevant expense records.
Claim and insurer history
Keep claim forms, requests for information, decisions, reasons, reviews and communications in date order.
Missing information
List records you expected to have but do not yet have — for example an employer incident report, current work-capacity certificate, insurer decision or wage record. Mark the gap rather than filling it from memory.
Important limitation
GetInstantProof does not determine medical causation, claim eligibility or legal entitlement. Review and appeal deadlines vary by jurisdiction.
