Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: How do I report an on-the-job injury?

A: Report all injuries at work to your employer immediately and request medical treatment, if needed.  If you neglect to report the injury within 90 days of the accident you may lose your benefits.   Although you must report the injury within 90 days, you have up to two years to file a claim for benefits.  If a worker dies because of work-related injuries, the worker’s dependents, or parents if there are no dependents, must file a claim within two years of the death to claim benefits.
