The claim, the denial, and the petition

People search a claim that was never opened, a claim that was denied, and a check that stopped. They search the notice they were supposed to give the employer, an IME, light duty, and the claim petition. The employer, the date of the injury, and any claim number are the referral facts.

A workers’ compensation claim is not the same as a lawsuit against a careless third party on a job site. If both might exist, say what the job was and who else was on the site. Use the workplace-injury page if you are not sure which one you have.

What to send

The employer, the date you were hurt, the body part, and whether a claim number exists. The county where you worked helps.

Nothing on this page is a prediction of what a case is worth, and it is not legal advice. A message asks the desk to review the facts and refer them.

What to send

Injuries at work and claim petitions. Say the employer, the date of the injury, and whether a claim number exists.

The useful first facts are the place, the date, the court if there is one, and what happened. Records can wait until a lawyer asks for them.

How a referral works

A message asks the desk to read the facts and refer them to a lawyer who handles this work. It does not hire that lawyer, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

The lawyer who receives the introduction decides whether to take the matter and talks with you about deadlines and fees.
