Workers’ Compensation FAQs

  • Can I Protest a Claim Closure or Disability Rating?

    If you disagree with a claim closure or believe you are entitled to a different permanent partial disability rating, you may have the right to protest or appeal the decision. An attorney can review the circumstances of your claim.

  • Do I Have To Attend An Independent Medical Examination?

    The Department or a self-insured employer may have the right to request an independent medical examination. The requirements and circumstances can vary, so discuss your situation with an attorney.

  • Can I Receive Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Benefits?

    It is possible to receive both types of benefits, but an offset may reduce one of the payments. Your individual circumstances should be reviewed to determine how the benefits may interact.

  • Can I Reopen My Workers’ Compensation Claim?

    A claim may potentially be reopened when specific requirements are met, including evidence that your condition has objectively worsened. Medical evidence and applicable deadlines are important.

  • Can I File a Third-Party Claim?

    A third-party claim may be possible when someone outside the employee-employer relationship contributed to an injury, such as through negligence or a defective product. Time limits may apply.
