You are supposed to report it to your employer, he is supposed to take you to a clinic the employer uses for work related injuries. If the employer does not report it and give the employee a copy, then the employee should report it as soon as possible to the state.

Look up your state's worker's compensation statute on the internet. There will be a provision about time limits in reporting claims. There may be an extention when the injury is not reasonably discovered until later.

You report it to your employer, it is up to them to report to the Workers Comp Commission for your state and I'm sure it varies from state to state.
