Arizona Injury Claim FAQs
Report the injury to your employer, seek medical care, document what happened, keep copies of all paperwork, and follow medical restrictions. Arizona workers compensation deadlines can be strict.
Under A.R.S. § 23-1061, an Arizona workers compensation claim generally must be filed within one year after the injury or after the worker knew the condition was work-related.
Sometimes. Workers compensation is usually the exclusive remedy against an employer, but a separate third-party claim may be available if another company, driver, contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer caused the injury.
Benefits can include medical treatment, wage-loss benefits, disability benefits, and vocational support depending on the injury and claim status. A third-party claim may involve additional categories of damages.
