The Maine workers compensation laws have made certain tasks mandatory for the employers after an injury is reported to them. As soon as an employee reports an accident of occupational injury, the employer must file a first Report of Injury within seven days and provide a copy of the report to the injured employee. In case the employee is unable to return to work because of injury and thus loses one day of work, the report must also be filed with the occupational injury compensation board. If the employer fails to submit this report as required, the employee has the option to contact a Troubleshooter by visiting or calling a regional office of the Compensation Board.
