In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your employer will have the necessary forms and should give them to you without resistance. However, if for any reason your employer withholds the form, then contact your state workers compensation agency. You can find your state at this directory. The form will ask for your name and occupation, the time and date of the injury, as well as descriptions of the injury and how it occurred. There is no reason to delay. If you delay filing, then you are merely delaying the start of any compensation for your injury. Also, the law requires that you file a claim within a statutory period.  If you are employed by the federal government, you have three years from the date of the injury to file.  State law varies. In California, you have one year. In New Jersey, two. However, Oklahoma workers, for example, have only 30 days to report an injury if they want to receive workers' compensation benefits. It is best to file the claim as soon as possible. Although the statute of limitations period may have ended, you could still qualify for benefits. Some states will start the clock from the date of disability, not injury.  The federal government starts the clock for latent conditions from the date you became aware, or should have become aware, of “a possible relationship between the medical condition and the employment.”  Nevertheless, you should not count on a court extending the limitation period. Always file promptly. The workers compensation insurer will send you a letter explaining whether your claim has been granted or denied. If denied, the letter should explain the appeals process.
Summary: Secure the necessary paperwork. Fill out the form accurately. File promptly. File even if late. Await results.

If you are asthmatic, remember to pack an inhaler. For allergies, pack an EpiPen. Pack any other pills or required medication. It is also helpful to add in “just in case” medicine, like Advil or Midol. You may need to send a letter or medication to the school nurse if you have any medical problems. Schools usually have water fountains, but it is good to have water available throughout the day. Choose a bottle that is leak-proof and needs to be individually opened and closed. A regular water bottle may leak onto supplies. Avoid juice in boxes or bottles that may leak and stain supplies. Younger children will typically have snack time, but having a snack is a good idea for any age. Pack a healthy snack like apples or bananas to renew energy throughout the day. Crackers make good snacks as well. Put the snack in a Ziploc bag, and place it in a side compartment. You might want to pack lunch as well, but lunch boxes or bags may not fit in an already full backpack. This might include deodorant, hand sanitizer, a brush or comb, sanitary items for females, hair ties, or lotion. This could also include a cosmetic bag for makeup. Put these items in a small toiletry bag, and place them in a medium-sized pocket separate from important school supplies, in case a liquid item leaks. A cosmetic bag may be separate. Do not bring more than you know you will make use of. Some items like hand sanitizer, deodorant, and feminine items are important to have, but it is probably not necessary to bring all of your makeup. Extra clothing is a great idea for very small children that may have accidents or get very dirty during recess. While it may not be necessary for older children and adults, it is a good idea to have an extra set of clothing if taking part in gym class. Put the clothes (pants, shirt, and underwear) in a plastic bag, and put it in any free compartment of the backpack. Older students may have a locker to place their backpack and/or supplies into. A combination lock will be necessary for locker use. Though not necessary, it is comforting to pack a few decorations for a locker. These items might include pictures, art prints, or a charm that you enjoy. Younger children often have cubbies, and it may be comforting to pack a toy to keep in to keep inside of it. Once it is packed, make sure the backpack zips up easily without any strain. The backpack will probably be full, but it should not be so full that the fabric looks like it will rip.  Walk around with the backpack once it is packed. Your back should not be hurting from the weight of the backpack.  Put it in a safe and easy-to-find spot to grab for school.

One-sentence summary -- Remember any necessary medication. Bring a water bottle. Pack snacks. Add personal hygiene products. Bring a change of clothes. Pack locker supplies and decorative items. Try the backpack out.

Problem: Article: Have them make the call and report the driver. Do not try to talk on the phone while you drive, or you could put your life in danger. Move to a safe shoulder off of the road or into a parking lot. Make sure this is a safe place to stop your car for a few minutes. Only call the police once the car is stopped and parked. In the US, this number is 911. Describe the car to the police and tell them where it is headed. Give them as much information as possible about the car. For example, you might say, "I'd like to report a reckless driver. There's a black SUV with Virginia plates speeding down I-40 west. I'm near mile marker 95. They are swerving between lanes, and I think they may be dangerous." Tell them the color and make of the car as well as what road you were driving on. This will help the police be on the lookout for this driver. Some states and local governments have special lines for reckless driving. For example, in Colorado, you can call *277. Look up to see if your state has a similar service. If the vehicle has a “how’s my driving” sticker, you may see that there is both a phone number and ID number. Call the phone number, and provide the vehicle’s ID to lodge your complaint.  You can say, "I'd like to report truck #555. They were tailgating my car and then they made a rude gesture to me as they passed my car." Similarly, If the reckless driver was in a company truck, car, or vehicle, you can report their bad driving to their employer. You should only do this if the driver was in a clearly marked company vehicle.
Summary:
Ask your passenger to report the driver. Pull your car over if you do not have a passenger. Call an emergency number if people’s lives are in danger. Call the police’s non-emergency number if it’s not dangerous. Call the phone number on a “how’s my driving” sticker.
