Los Angeles cases: the evidence that decides work injury claims
- Your own copy of the written injury report — the notice you gave your employer, with its date.
- Medical records from the first visit onward — the earliest record ties the injury to the job.
- Coworker witnesses — names and numbers, before shifts change and people move on.
- Photos of the hazard or equipment — taken before it gets fixed, replaced, or cleaned up.
- Wage records — benefit rates are calculated from earnings, so pay stubs matter.
- A restrictions log — missed days, light-duty limits, and what the injury stops you from doing.
