What documents should I submit to support my workers' compensation claim?

In Washington, you must submit certain documents to support your workers’ compensation claim. These documents include a claim for compensation form, a medical report from a health care provider, copies of hospital records if you had to stay in the hospital, documentation of wages such as your tax returns, and documentation of any awards or settlements you received from any other claims related to your injury. You should also submit a written description of how the injury occurred and provide the names and contact information of any witnesses to the incident. Additionally, you should submit proof of your insurance coverage and any documents related to how your injury affects your job duties. Also, if you are unable to return to your job, you may need to submit a vocational assessment report. In addition to submitting these documents, it is important to provide accurate and complete information in any forms you fill out. Inaccurate or incomplete information could lead to a delay or denial of your claim. Finally, be sure to submit all the documents to the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries within the time frame required by their regulations. Submitting them in a timely manner will help ensure that your claim is processed and evaluated as quickly as possible.
