State Statutes require that an
employer must file a First Report of Injury whenever
an employee claims to have been injured at work.
Whether or not the employer disputes
the claim has no bearing on the employer's obligation
to file the First Report of Injury with its insurer.
Filing the First Report of Injury
does not admit
liability.
Failure to file the First Report
of Injury or late filing of the First Report of Injury
may subject the employer to penalties and/or lawsuits
under the workers compensation law.
As your workers compensation administrator, we
will investigate all claims. If you have concerns about
a claim, please advise us of those concerns, and we
will investigate the claim thoroughly.
