Report Workers’ Compensation Claims As Soon As Possible (within 24 hours is recommended)
Timely reporting of workers’ compensation claims is extremely important. Although late reporting does not jeopardize an injured worker’s benefits, it can greatly complicate the claim and usually results in increased costs to the employer. Here are a few ways timely reporting can save (or cost) money.
- Securing Immediate Medical Treatment: Saves Money
- Investigating a Case Within 48-Hours: Saves Money
- Violating State or Federal Law: Costs Money
- Creating a Positive Work Environment: Saves Money
Simply put, immediate reporting of workers’ compensation claims can save time, frustration and money.
State laws require you to report all claims to your workers’ comp carrier.
