The Process of Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim

After being injured on the job and receiving medical care, you must report your injuries to your employer as soon as possible. Upon reporting your injury, your employer should provide you with claims forms to complete. You will need to provide information about yourself and your injuries and return the form to your employer. The company you work for most likely has its own policies concerning the workers’ compensation filing process, which should be expressed to you when you report your injuries.
