To submit your claim forms for worker's compensation you will need to let your direct supervisor know first of all that you were injured on the job. You will have to give a detailed account of the incident and provide all information such as what and where are you hurt, telephone, address...etc. Then your employer should give you a DWC-1 which is a very important document for you to sign, that lets whoever your employer has as an insurance carrier know that you are filing worker's comp. Your paper work must then be submitted to the insurance carrier by your employer. Then your employer should have a list of available industrial clinics for you to go treat at. You will see the doctor and then follow his/her orders whether that be modified duty, T.T.D (totally temporarily disabled), or okay to go back to your regular duty. But communicating with your employer is key. You must approach them and let them know what happened, they cannot turn you away, they must provide you with the forms. Your job may have a human resources or risk management department that will further take care of any of your paper work. The later you wait to act upon your injury, the harder it can be to receive proper treatment. Also, do what the doctor prescribes, I see it all the time...people assuming they are better, and they go back to work full force when they shouldn't be only to re-injure and aggrevate the existing injury. Worker's comp. can get really tiresome and ugly, so it's best to be clear with all three parties: the employer, the doctor and the insurance carrier. But goodluck! Also, do not get a lawyer right off the bat! That is horrible advice. They are very expensive and you will be cutting off all communication with your employer regarding the injury. Most people who get lawyers for worker's comp. are very difficult people who do not understand the system and unless you are truely being screwed over by your employer, there is no reason to seek legal counsel. Also, Worker's comp. is to help the employee return to work and be healthy & ready for the job market, it is not worth milking it because you do not receive full wages while on worker's comp.
