How to File a Workers' Compensation Claim
If you've been injured on the job or developed an illness due to workplace conditions, you might be eligible for workers' compensation benefits. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process:
Seek Medical Attention
Report your injury to your employer immediately. In a medical emergency, get treatment first and report your injury as soon as possible.
Notify Your Employer
Inform your employer of your injury within 30 days to ensure your claim is filed within the required timeframe. Delays may jeopardize your eligibility for benefits.
Employer's Responsibilities
Report Submission: Your employer must file a report with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development’s Workers' Compensation Division within one business day.
Insurance Response
Insurance Notification: Your employer will also notify their workers' compensation insurance carrier about your injury.
The insurance company must contact you within 15 days of receiving notice to inform you whether your claim has been accepted or denied.
Every case is different, and these steps will be different in complex cases, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Our workers’ compensation lawyers at Schneider & Madsen will guide you through every step of the process to ensure your rights are protected.
