1. Workers’ Compensation Claim Process

2. Workers’ Compensation Claim Process
Understanding the workers’ compensation claim procedure is the key to getting the benefits you deserve.
It involves the following steps:

3. Medical Treatment
Get necessary medical treatment before filing a workers’ compensation claim.
Some workers’ compensation policies require injured employees to see a designated physician or medical facility.

4. Report the Injury
Notify your employer about the injury or illness as soon as possible.
If you fail to report the injury within the statutory deadline (usually 30 days), you may lose your right to collect the benefits you are entitled to.

5. File a Claim
Obtain a workers’ compensation claim form from your employer or your state’s workers’ compensation board.
Generally, you need to provide the following information:
Date, time and location of injury
Parties involved in the accident
How the accident occurred
Medical treatment received

6. Follow-up
If there were no objections to your claim, you will continue to receive medical treatment until you have reached maximum recovery.
To keep your workers’ compensation claim on track, you need to maintain the following records:
Forms you filled out and documents received
Notes on how your injury affected your work
Medical reports
Time sheets and pay stubs or checks
Receipts for out-of-pocket expenses
