Forth Worth Workers' Compensation Attorney

Workers' Compensation Claim Filing

The Texas Department of Insurance has strict regulations on the procedure for filing for workers' compensation and the requirements of both the employer and employee.  Generally, injuries that occur on the job may be eligible for Workers Compensation provided you miss work for more than 7 days.

After an accident occurs, an employee should report the incident and any injuries immediately.  An employer must provide a claim form to be filled out by the employee and submit their portion of the form to their workers' compensation insurance company.  If the worker is injured, medical treatment must be provided, allowing the employee to choose a doctor from the insurance company's network of approved doctors or from the Texas Division of Workers Compensation list of doctors.

Various other forms may be required to be filled out, including ones at the treating physician's office.  Most of these forms require specific timelines in which they must be submitted.  To protect your rights when filing a claim after an injury, consult with a workers' compensation attorney from the Malaise Law Firm.  Our office can assist you in preparing any documentation necessary and submitting all necessary forms to the appropriate parties.
