Step by Step Guide on How to File a Worker's Compensation Claim:
1. Seek Medical Attention
If you experience a work-related injury or illness, your employer is required to provide first aid if needed.
Employees should promptly seek medical care if necessary.
Employers are also legally obligated to document all workplace injuries and illnesses.
2. Engage with the Return-to-Work Coordinator
The return-to-work coordinator, appointed by your employer, oversees early intervention efforts, supports a smooth return-to-work process, and monitors rehabilitation programs to ensure they are appropriate.
They also help in selecting a suitable rehabilitation provider.
3. Telehealth or In-Person Appointments
Our workers’ compensation GPs can evaluate your condition, conduct necessary tests, and refer you to specialists as needed.
4. Refer to a rehabilitation provider
Our GP's will refer you to a rehabilitation provider
5. Participate in an Injury Management Plan
An injury management plan involves three key components: treatment, rehabilitation, and returning to work.
This plan outlines the coordinated efforts of all parties, including doctors, insurers, and the employer, to support the worker’s recovery and facilitate their return to work.
