Industrial accident specialist attorney, please tell me how to report an industrial accident.

You found an industrial accident specialist attorney. The method for reporting an industrial accident is as follows.

If an employee is injured, providing first aid and transporting them to a hospital is the priority.

At this time, it is good to check whether the hospital where treatment is received is an industrial accident designated medical institution.

After that, you can prepare a medical care benefit application and submit it to the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service.

In the medical care benefit application, you must fill in without omission the personal information of the injured person, the workplace they belong to, and the circumstances of the accident occurrence.

If the accident due to work-related causes is clear, the decision on whether to approve medical care is usually made within 7 days.

However, if confirmation of facts is needed in the circumstances of the accident, processing may take more time.

If you applied for an industrial accident due to work-related illness, the examination period may take longer because confirmation of the causal relationship between work and illness is needed.

If you receive a non-approval disposition for industrial accident, you can file a review request to the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Review Committee within 90 days from the date of decision notification.

In addition, you can also file an administrative lawsuit with the help of an industrial accident specialist attorney, so please refer to this.

If an industrial accident occurs and is not reported, you can be punished under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

If you conceal or conspire to conceal the occurrence of an industrial accident, you can be sentenced to up to 1 year of imprisonment or a fine of up to 10 million won, so please be sure to be careful.
