Workers Comp in Coasters RetreatWhere to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Getting off the water for treatment takes planning when your worksite is only reachable by boat. Do it anyway, because nothing in a claim moves until a doctor has examined you and written a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors run that appointment, and the shoulder and back rehab that marine and building work calls for is handled by our physios under an accepted claim.

2

Get your Certificate of Capacity

Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.

3

Notify your employer

You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
