Notice, Filing Requirements and Deadlines

There Are Filing Requirements and Deadlines for Workers' Comp Claims

After getting injured in an accident at work, it is important to notify your immediate supervisor and employer as soon as possible after the injury and your intent to file a workers' compensation claim. The filing process is complex. When injured workers do not take the proper steps, they can miss opportunities to collect benefits in a timely fashion.

Getting to the Right Doctor

After an injury, seeking proper medical attention and following the prescribed treatment plan is critical. Every employee injured in the workplace must see a doctor who is certified by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) and an established clinic, set up to accept direct payments through a managed care organization (MCO). Talk to your doctor immediately to ask about certification.

Either you or your doctor may initiate the workers' compensation claim. Learn more about the filing process and other information available online at our Resources page.
