Who makes a determination of an incident or injury claim should be filed?

The determination of whether an incident or injury claim should be filed is typically made by the affected individual, often in consultation with legal or insurance professionals. Factors considered include the severity of the injury, liability, and potential damages. Additionally, employers or insurance companies may evaluate the situation to decide if a claim is warranted based on their policies and the specifics of the incident. Ultimately, the decision involves assessing the potential for compensation versus the costs and efforts of pursuing a claim.
