If you are injured on the job, here is a list of what you should do.

1. Report the injury right away or as soon as possible to a supervisor or some other person in charge. Write down the time and date you spoke with your supervisor.  Reporting the injury to a co-worker is not sufficient under Florida case law. Obviously, if it is an emergency, the most important thing for you to take care of is your health, so go automatically to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
2. Request a Notice of Injury form ASAP and remember to keep a copy for yourself.
3. If the employer refuses to provide a claim form, it is important that you send the employer a letter by certified mail return receipt (where they sign for the letter) or hand deliver the letter to the employer and write down the date, time, and the name of the person to whom you delivered the letter.  The letter should indicate the date of your injury, and the parts of the body injured.
4. Copy down the names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses if possible. Over time you will likely forget their names and contact information.  
5. Obtain medical treatment as soon as possible after the injury occurs.  If your employer refuses to provide treatment, go to a hospital room as soon as possible.  Remember to tell the doctor that your injury occurred at work.  It is critical that you provide the doctor with a complete history of what happened and all your symptoms for your health reasons and to make sure that your claim is well  documented.  Although not impossible, it is difficult to add other body parts to a claim if there are no complaints of pain close in time to the injury in many cases.
6. If your injury is likely to result in either permanent injury or an inability to do the job you had when you were injured you should call 1-877-733-5878.
