How the Workers’ Compensation Claims Process Works from A to Z

Workers’ compensation insurance claims can be confusing to navigate if you’re unfamiliar with the process. At CompSource Mutual, we believe it doesn’t have to be complicated. That’s why we created this guide – to get you the scoop on all things “claims.” We aim to make the experience as stress-free as possible by offering support to all involved – injured workers and business owners alike. 

Read on to see how the workers’ comp claims process really works:

Reporting an Injury

The claims process starts when a worker is injured. It is important to inform your workers’ compensation insurance provider of the incident as soon as possible to get the help that you need. At CompSource Mutual, this is especially vital because you can get connected to quality medical care and pharmacy resources to aid in recovery and foster a successful return to work.

Step 3: Return-to-Work

Once the injured worker has received the care needed, our top priority is getting them back on the job safely. We’ll map out a return-to-work plan for the worker to facilitate a successful post-injury solution. The claims adjuster will communicate return-to-work updates to the employer as needed and be by your side until the claim is resolved.
