After notifying your supervisor that you have been injured in the workplace and seeking necessary medical treatment, your employer will likely provide you with a number of forms to fill out in order to initiate the claims process. The type of forms that you will be required to complete will vary according to the rules that apply in your jurisdiction. The most common form that is provided to injured workers is an accident report form, which asks you to document the circumstances leading up to and during the injury in detail. In some states, employers are required to provide injured workers with this workers' compensation form within 24 hours of the incident. At the same time, you will likely fill out a form that will be filed with your state workers' compensation bureau, requesting adjudication of your claim. Be sure to fill out all of the mandatory paperwork carefully and completely in order to increase the chances that your claim will be approved.
