Notice Of Accident To Employer And Claim Of Employee Representative Or Dependent {18}

FORM 18 - NOTICE OF ACCIDENT TO EMPLOYER AND CLAIM OF EMPLOYEE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR DEPENDENT. establishes a legal claim of injury on your behalf if filed within two years of the date of injury or occupational disease, and gives the required written notice to the employer if a copy is submitted to the employer within 30 days of the injury. The employer is required by law to file a Form 19 if the employee misses more than one day of work due to the injury or if the medical bills exceed $4,000.00. However, the employer’s filing of a Form 19 does not satisfy the employee’s obligation to file a claim. In order to ensure the employee’s rights are protected, the employee must file a Form 18 even though the employer may be paying compensation or the Industrial Commission may have opened a file for the injury. www.FormsWorkflow.com
