Default Re: Theatre injury

Absolutely report it - better late than never! You need to protect yourself because you can never tell what might happen down the road. My pulled muscle ended up being a disintegrating spine and marked the end of my career in the scene shop/ construction part of theater. Had I not reported it, not only would I be out of a job, but also probably confined to a wheelchair by now. W/C paid all my medical bills (including major back surgery), plus salary. had I not reported the initial injury, I'd probably be living in a cardboard box now...
