Four Phases of a Workers' Compensation Claim

Workers’ Voice study has released a new practical resource, “Four Phases of a Workers’ Compensation Claim”, designed to help injured workers, employers, and practitioners better understand the workers’ compensation process. We know that workers’ compensation systems can feel overwhelming and frustrating especially when you’re already dealing with the impact of a workplace injury or illness. This resource is designed to help make the process easier to understand by providing a clear, plain-language overview of how a workers’ compensation claim generally unfolds. The information shared here is intended as a general guide only. Every claim is different. If you can, we encourage seeking support early to help you navigate your claim and understand your options. This overview was developed with the guidance and insight of the Workers’ Voice lived experience advisory group to whom we are deeply grateful.
