        "description": "**Immediately report the accident to your supervisor and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor.** Workers' compensation in Utah covers workplace injuries like forklift accidents regardless of fault.[1][2] Key factors: Document everything including photos of the scene, witness contacts, and medical records; notify employer within 180 days but sooner is better; OSHA violations like unlicensed operators strengthen claims.[1][5] Get evaluated fully as symptoms like back pain or brain injuries can delay.[2][3] Consult a workers' comp attorney promptly to file the claim and avoid pitfalls; do not give recorded statements to insurance without advice. This protects your right to benefits like medical care and lost wages."
