Workers' Comp
If an employee was hurt at the work
site, but was not on the clock, does
the employer have to file a claim?
The employee clocked out and then
went upstairs to ask the owner a
personal question. He fell on the
stairs. The employer is paying for
the damage (broken teeth) through
their insurance, but is not sure if
they have to file a workers' comp
claim.

Re: Workers' Comp
Most likely this will be treated as a work injury, especially if the question related to work. However, you may wish to consult a Personal Injury attorney to make certain no civil claim can be filed.
Fill out a notice of injury form and give it to the employer.
