If you are injured at work, here are the steps you should take:

• Once your claim has been filed, an EMPLOYERS claims professional will contact you to obtain the details of your injury. You will be contacted within 24 to 48 hours of filing your claim by EMPLOYERS. The claims professional will explain the workers’ compensation process and outline any benefits to which you may be entitled.
• Keep your medical appointments. Provide all medical and return-to-work information to the nurse or claims professional assigned to your claim as well as to your employer.

• Helps you locate a healthcare provider
• Provides Pharmacy Benefits and Pharmacy Locator

• How many people were injured in the accident?
• Part(s) of the body injured
• Did the injured worker return to their next scheduled shift after the accident?
• Is the validity of the claim doubted? If so, tell us why.
• Are the injured worker’s wages being paid during disability?

• Injured worker’s wage on the date of injury (salary or hourly pay amount)

Yes. You can locate a doctor by going to our Claims Services page and use the provider locator tool.

You will provide your claim number (if you haven’t received one, you can provide them with your EMPLOYERS workers’ compensation policy number), insurance name, and a mailing address for sending medical records. You can obtain this information from your employer.
