If you get injured at work, the claims process determines what benefits we can provide to you.
These benefits can include:

• compensation for wages lost while you recover from a work injury;
• medical care and other non-monetary benefits;
• permanent disability awards, like pension; and
• other services, like help to return to work, prescriptions, and out of pocket expenses. 

There are 4 steps to the claims process:

1. Information Gathering: you file your claim with us, sending in a completed WSCC Claim: Worker's Report of Injury form
2. Claim entitlement: we make a decision to either accept your claim or deny it. 
3. Benefit Calculation: if we accept your claim, we calculate your benefits.
4. Ongoing Communication: you work closely with a WSCC adjudicator or case manager throughout your recovery.

You can learn more about the claims process by viewing the Claims Process Map.

If we deny your claim and you disagree with our decision, you can request a review of this decision.  You can read more about the review process here.
