Job Injury Report and the Duty of Your Employer
Many people believe that once they tell their boss or supervisor about their on-the-job injury, that they have done everything they needed to do to get the help them need. That is not correct. While the law requires that you report your injury to the employer, it is also your duty to make sure the worker's report of injury is filed with the Industrial Commission of Arizona.
The Industrial Commission is the regulating agency for workers' compensation matters. Your claim must be filed with them. Sometimes, the job injury report gets reported to the owner, and the owner tells their insurance company, and the insurance company does nothing.
