Phoenix Workers' Compensation Lawyer — What Injured Arizona Workers Should Know

Summary of the guide published by Saguaro Injury Law: Phoenix workers' compensation lawyer

Injured on the job in Arizona? You have legal rights, and you may also have a separate third-party claim worth more than workers' comp alone. Saguaro Injury Law handles claims before the Industrial Commission of Arizona and pursues every avenue of recovery.

What you can recover

  • Medical treatment: authorized care for the work injury, fully covered
  • Temporary disability: approximately 66.67% of your average monthly wage while you recover
  • Permanent disability: benefits if the injury leaves lasting impairment
  • Vocational rehabilitation: retraining and job placement when you can't return to your old job
  • Death benefits: wage replacement and burial expenses for surviving family
  • Third-party recovery: when a non-employer (a negligent contractor, equipment manufacturer, or driver in a work-related crash) caused the injury, a separate personal injury claim may be worth far more

What to do after a workplace injury

  1. Report the injury to your employer in writing immediately
  2. Get medical attention
  3. Request a copy of the employer's incident report
  4. Document everything: photos, witness names, a written account
  5. Don't sign anything from the comp insurer without legal review
  6. File a claim with the Industrial Commission of Arizona
  7. Consult a workers' comp attorney

Deadline

You only have 90 days to appeal a denied workers' comp claim in Arizona. Deadlines are short and strict.
