When Must I file My Workers Comp Claim?

July 23rd, 2007 MikeEvers

Your claim will be legal and valid if you file it with the Workers Compensation Commission:

  • Within three years from the date of the accident,
    Or
  • Within two years from the date of the last payment of related compensation (TTD, TPD, Maintenance, medical bill payment, etc.)

Therefore, if you had an accident on the job within the last three years, you may still be eligible to receive some form of compensation. Do not delay, because even one day late is too late.

Filing an accident report at work, or filing out insurance claim forms, is not the same thing as filing a Workers’ Compensation claim with the Workers Compensation Commission.

If you have questions or concerns about what to file, when to file, and where to file, you ought to consult with a legal representative.
