If you sustained an injury that requires medical treatment, filing a claim through BWC (Bureau of Workers’ Compensation), is advisable. If the claim is allowed, medical treatment that is necessary for the injuries is covered without out-of-pocket expenses such as co-pays and deductibles. If the injury requires time off work to heal and recover, workers’ compensation should cover lost wages during that time.

In addition to covering medical treatment costs and lost wages, an allowed claim qualifies the injured person for monetary awards based on the extent of the impairment. If the injury has permanent implications which prevent a return to the same job, vocational training and education may be an option through the claim.
