Do large companies have to file an incident report if someone is injured on their property by an employee?

Answer 1

Oh brother, some of these answers are out here. WHy would someone contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for an accident report?

No, business are NOT required to file an accident report. Even if an ambulance is called. OSHA does require an accident report if an employee is injured in the workplace. There are several levels of "injured" so as not to burden employers with paperwork.

If you have an issue with a company and you feel you were "injured", your only recourse is to obtain an attorney at your cost. Remember, the company may have video of the incident which does not have to be released to you.

With the lack of viable information you provided, only limited guidance is available. You as the customer do not have any rights. Simple as that.

Answer 2

Yes. If someone is intentionally or negligently injured by and employee of a large company, they employee (or person they injured) should file a report with the manager at the time the incident occurred, and the manager in turn will file it with their company insurance and legal dept...it the incident is due to a third party being injured to to will full misconduct or negligence, to protect their rights, they should contact the police and retain the control # issued as proof of the occurrence, otherwise , it is likely a "he said, she said" situation and heard in Small Claims Court, whereby the Plaintiff is likely to lose due to not being able to meet the burden of "preponderance of the evidence".

Answer 3

Companies do not have to file an incident report by law, but most do it as a way to keep a record of the incident and for insurance purposes. That way, if a trial to were to arise, the company and the insurance company would have a first hand account of what took place since most trials are usually most, sometimes years, after the incident and it would be hard to recall what happened then. Also, insurance companies use them to track repeat occurrences.

If they are not doing this, it's because they are going to claim it never happened. YOU insist on it, AND get a copy of the report for your files. If they refuse , call the EEOC office immediatly and report to them that they are refusing to do this. If you do not do these things now, then when you go to court to ask for payment of medical bills, they will just say they have no idea what your talking about and you probally hurt yourself at home. A report is suppossed to be filed at the moment you report it...and GET A COPY of the report, that is your evidence. And copies of everything, including doc visits, prescritions..everything. That is your proof.

Answer 5

An incident report or a police report. Its either an accident for which they are responsible or an assault for which the employee is responsible.
