After I am injured on the job how long does the insurance company have to start sending me my checks?
When you have been unable to earn full wages for five or more days due to an injury on the job, your employer has seven days, not including Sundays and legal holidays, to report the injury to its insurance company. The insurance company then has 14 days from receipt of the first report of injury to mail you a check or, if it intends to contest the claim, to send you a form stating its reasons for denying compensation. An employee claim form may be filed with the insurance company at any time, but the DIA cannot accept it until at least 30 days have passed since your first date of disability. You can obtain claim forms from this website, the public information counter at any D.I.A. office, or by calling 727-4900 x470.
