What
should the Employer Expect?
Once a lost time claim has been filed and the First Report of
Injury received by claim's representative, the employer
can expect to receive a phone call to verify the factual information
contained on the First Report of Injury. This will normally take
place within two (2) working days of receipt of the First Report
at the claims office. Within that time period, an employer
should have
had the opportunity to follow up with the injured employee to determine
the extent of the injury.
If the claim involves lost time and a wage statement has not
been filed with the First Report of Injury, one will be requested
at
that time. In the event of extended lost time, the employer can
expect a visit from a claim's consultant.
The purpose of that visit is to investigate the facts of the accident
and to assist the employer in the future management of the claim.
