she should definitely file a worker's comp claim.

Worker's comp injuries are generally never covered by insurance - so years from now, if an injury from this job creates problems, she will be unable to have it paid for by insurance without lying about it. And if she lies and gets caught, she may be required to repay the insurance company.
