Please use this form to request workers’ compensation benefits. Fill out and sign the “employee” portion of the form. Be sure to describe your injury in detail. Include all the body parts that have been injured. Give the form to your employer. This is called “filing” the claim form. Do this as soon as possible to avoid possible problems with your claim. Get good medical care. You should be treated by a doctor who understands your type of injury or illness.

Your doctor should:

  • Determine when you can return to work
  • Identify the types of work you can do safely while recovering
  • Refer you to specialists if needed
  • Write medical reports that will help determine the benefits you receive.

Inform the doctor about your injuries and the events at work that caused them.
