Phoenix Work Comp Attorneys Helping You Understand Notices and Claims
There are many notices sent out by the workmans comp insurance carrier or the Industrial Commission of Arizona. They can be confusing, but they are important to read and even more important to understand. A Notice of Claim Status is the most common.

- Employer's Report of Industrial Injury
- Worker's and Physician's Report of Injury
- Notice of Supportive Medical Maintenance Benefits
- Notice of Claim Status
- Notice of Suspension of Benefits
- Notice of Permanent Disability or Death Benefits
- Notice of Permanent Disability and Request for Determination of Benefits
- Recommended Average Monthly Wage Calculation of Carrier
- Notice of Average Monthly Wage
- Worker's Report of Injury
- Request for Hearing
- Petition to Reopen Based on New, Additional, or Previously Undiscovered Disability or Condition
- Petition for Rearrangement or Readjustment of Compensation
- Notice of Loss of Earning Capacity
- Notice of Supportive Care Award
- Notice of Death Benefits
There is a statute of limitations that is very strict in workman's comp. If you don't agree with a notice sent to you, you must know how long you have to appeal. Consulting with a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist attorney is essential. It is also imperative that you know your rights before you sign a Release, a Stipulation, or a Compromise and Settlement of your rights.
