I reported a injury at work yesterday. Does that make the injury a workman comp injury or claim?
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: United States State (if USA): Minnesota Already Tried: I reported that I hurt my back moving something and I reported it to my supervisor. I requested to go home for the day, which they allowed but today i had to go to a doctor before i could come back to work. They told me when i made the injury claim it became a workers comp issue/claim?

QUESTION: "Does that make the injury a workman comp injury or claim?"
ANSWER: First of all, please allow me to say that I am genuinely sorry for your circumstances and send my very best wishes for your speedy recovery. Here is how this works. Yes, based on your description, this is indeed a workers' compensation case as the injury incurred in what the law calls the "course and scope" of your employment. In other words, you got hurt on the job, and hence yours is indeed a workers' compensation matter as opposed to injuring yourself say at your home or while eating in a restaurant.
I truly hope all works out for you.
