$50 bucks and a lawyer for the employee, and yes it is. Several liability questions. Who owns the property? Does the employee have company health insurance? Was the employee on the "clock" when the accident occurred? Chances are even if the answer to all are NO, your corporate liabilty policy will pay it to make it go away for small amounts, wether right or wrong or indifferent. Once you file the claim it is pretty much out of your hands. Talk to the employee, if the company health insurance pays the medical bills and this is all the issue, no harm no foul. As an employee If I did that I wouldn't be an ass and call myself stupid and move on. There are those that think the company is responsible for everything, and you "owe me" attitude is something you should probably find out sooner rather than later. The bigger the company the bigger the problem. If it is workman's comp, it's workman's comp. stick a fork in it if it's filed and done move on. Once this happens osha log is a requirement. Again a claim is a claim, wether you believe so or not.
Good luck! in my opinion and I'm no lawyer.
