WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Workers’ Compensation is insurance which pays medical expenses and helps offset lost wages for employees with work- related injuries or illnesses. If you have an on-the-job injury or occupational disease, it may pay for: hospital and medical bills, time lost from work, permanent loss of body function, prosthetic devices, and burial and dependent benefits in case of death.
HOW TO REPORT AN ACCIDENT
1. Report the injury, no matter how slight, immediately to your supervisor. You may lose your rights if your injury is not reported within 180 days of the injury or work-related illness.
2. Ask your employer where you should go for treatment. If your employer has a first-aid room or company designated doctor, go there promptly for treatment. If not, go to a doctor of your choice.
3. Tell the doctor HOW, WHEN and WHERE the accident happened. The doctor will fill out a physician’s initial report form. A copy of the report is given to you and copies of the report are sent to the insurance company and the Labor Commission within seven (7) days of your doctor visit.
4. Your employer shall fill out the employer’s first report of injury form. A copy of this report is sent to the insurance company within seven (7) days of the accident. The insurance company will report the injury to the Labor Commission.
HOW TO START COMPENSATION
1. Ask your employer which insurance company pays workers’ compensation benefits for the company.
2. Ask your employer to report the accident to the insurance company and give you the claim number.
3. Call the insurance company and ask them to start your workers’ compensation benefits. The insurance company will require the employer’s report, the physician’s report, and may ask you to fill out a request for compensation. Cooperate with the adjuster’s investigation of the injury.
4. Ask your doctor to send medical reports to the insurance company, including the work status statement.
