Claims Notification Process
Workers' Compensation Report of Job Injury or Illness
Call our Rapid Care Hotline to report a work-related injury or illness.
24/7 Rapid Care Hotline
For medical emergencies call 911.
Immediately following a workplace injury/illness, call to speak with a registered nurse who specializes in occupational injuries. The nurse will connect you with the quality care that you need. The nurse will also collect the state-required 801 information, so you don’t have to complete the form later.
By calling the hotline, you are filing a legal claim for Workers’ Compensation Benefits. Call the hotline immediately when work accident/injury requires medical treatment or causes missed time from work.
NOTE: If a worker has a previously accepted Workers’ Compensation Claim and they would like to file an aggravation, they will need to contact their attending physician (MD, DO or Oral Surgeon) and complete form 827 for Notice of Claim for Aggravation. A new 801 form should not be completed for claim reopening.
Property & Liability Claim Reporting Form
Submit a General Liability Claim, Automobile Crash Report, or Property Damage Claim.
