What if my employer does not give me a workers comp claim form? |
I asked my employer for a workers comp claim form, and he said no; that he was not going to give me one. Depending on the State, they're probably in violation of some labor law. In California, employers are required to provide an injured worker with a claim form once an injury is reported regardless on whether or not they think the claim is legitimate (it's not their job to decide what claim is legitimate and what is not). Your Claims Administrator also has to provide you with one. Forms and useful information should also be available on your state agency's website. Source(s): Experience handling California work comp cases. You can find a form online by checking your state's website. Call your local labor board. Should have a poster on the wall where the minium wage is for information. If you have health insurance call them also what to do. Then tell him you will ask your attorney for the appropriate forms. You can find a good Workers Comp attorney on either abanet.org or findlaw.com. Thats illegal, document everything that goes forward from this point. Talk to HR about it, file a complaint, talk to Workers Comp directly. If you are fired or suffer any retaliation from trying to get a Workers Comp issue taken care of. Then you can get a settlement or sue for much more in court. Me, I've been researching it for something else. |
