Draft: lawyer review pending. Personal injury content on this site is awaiting review for state advertising rules before launch.

If you are injured at work, or develop an illness because of work, you may be able to claim weekly payments and medical expenses through your employer’s workers compensation insurer. Each state runs its own scheme.

Time limits

Strict time limits apply and they vary between states and schemes. Some notices must be given within weeks or months of the injury.
