In all fifty states, employees who sustain an injury or illness due to their on-the-job activities are entitled to receive financial payments and health care coverage. However, in order to determine whether your injury will qualify for workers' compensation benefits, you must first file a claim with the bureau that oversees the program in your state. Depending on the procedures in your jurisdiction, the agency you are looking for may be called the "workers' compensation bureau" or the "workers' compensation commission." You can usually find this information by performing a simple Web search, or by referencing the public services information in your local telephone directory. In some states, it is required that employers post the contact information for the workers' compensation commission that has jurisdiction over workplace injuries. If you are still unsure who to contact about your workplace injury and where you should turn to initiate the workers' compensation process, contact a workers' rights organization in your community.
