Claims Reporting

Injury Action Checklist

This is your step-by-step guide for handling accidents and injuries that occur on your jobsite. Research has proven that the sooner the injured employee receives medical attention and the earlier a claim is reported, the quicker the claim can be resolved — thereby reducing the overall cost of the claim. To begin the claims process, call 1-877-LHBASIF (542-2743) right away, even if you do not have all of the facts.
