Most employees know what workers' compensation is, but really don't give it a second thought until a workplace accident happens and they're left suffering from an injury. A more serious type of injury, such as a broken bone injury or a head injury, can put an employee out of work and leave them suffering from permanent disabilities.
Now, instead of pursuing a lawsuit against his or her employer, the injured worker can look to the work comp system for help with financial and medical needs. As soon as you return the DWC1 form to your supervisor, they should submit it to the company's insurance carrier. Once the insurance company has received your request, they have 14 days to review your claim.
