What is workers' compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance that provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees who become injured or ill while in the course of employment. The benefit payments replace lost wages due to time off from work and provide coverage for medical expenses if any occur due to the injury or illness.

How do I file a workers' compensation claim?

To file a workers' compensation claim, you must provide your employer with notice that you were injured at work. Generally, employers will require you to fill out a workers' compensation form describing in detail how and when you were injured. Your employer will then determine whether your injuries are covered by workers’ compensation laws and process your claim accordingly.

When am I eligible for benefits?

If your employer approves your claim, you may be eligible for certain benefits such as lost wages during recovery periods, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation expenses, disfigurement benefits, burial costs in fatal cases, and other related expenses. The amount of benefits received depends upon many factors such as the injury severity and state regulations.

What happens if my claim is denied?

If your claim is denied by your employer or their insurance company, then you have the right to file an appeal with local court personnel or with an administrative agency responsible for processing appeals within the State where you live or are employed. This can include contacting an experienced attorney if necessary for assistance in filing the appeal paperwork or attending hearings related to your case.
