Workman's Compensation Insurance is regulated by the laws of the state in which you reside. There is usually a time limit in which to file a claim. You should check the state statutes concerning WCI, for your state. Or contact the Labor Relations Board.

If you settle your medical part of workmans comp claim can you still get medicaid or medicare to pay for future medical bills for same injury?
Only if you have Medicare or Medicaid normally. If you were declared disabled, they will pay the bills.
Can I still get workmans comp if it happened at work but I told them it didn't?
You will probably need to explain why you didn't tell the truth as well as why they should believe you now, and you may have gone past the time period to report your injury, but I encourage you to make your claim quickly to find out. The time period varies by state.
You got hurt on a job 13 years ago and herniated your disk and received workmans comp for it Now you herniated the same disk at a different job can you collect workmans comp on it?
Hi~ It is my very recent personal experience that you will not be successful in receiving benefits for your new injury. They will jump on the opinion that this is a pre-existing condition. But STILL file your claim as quickly as possible! (Hopefully you either had witnesses to the injury or it occured just days or hours ago....)
Do you still receive payment for lost wages if your fired one week after your injury occurs?
It is illegal for a company to fire you after a Workmans Comp injury has been reported. Retain an injury lawyer ASAP. Good Luck
Can a person put in for a workmans comp claim if they are still continuing to work?
Yes. There are different types of workers compensation benefits available, and it might be necessary to file a claim to receive them. The employer (or its insurance company) must pay all medical bills related to a work-related injury. In addition, a person might be working reduced hours because of an injury, and might be entitled to receive temporary partial disability (TPD) payments. Finally, a person who is still working might still be entitled to a permanent injury rating based on some permanent impairment once their injury is done healing.
Can you still get some kind of compensation if you did not go to the hospital?
Probably not. With no injury, there is no injury claim. With no treatment, no injury can be confirmed.
Can you sell your home if their is an open claim still out?
Yes, the claim is for the date that the accident happened.
Do you have to reimburse your employer for workman's comp after you are back to work?
If it was a legitimate workplace injury and you didn't commit fraud, the money is yours. It's not a loan. The idea behind workmans comp is that if you're injured on the job you still get part of your paycheck instead of suing the company for injury.
Can you still receive an injury claim five months after an accident?
Short answer, depending upon the state yes.
If a business files for bankruptcy can you still sue over an injury that happened in that business?
Yes, absolutely, although you may have to do so before the "Bar" date - that is the date to make any potential claim against the Company, known.
If your fired one week after receiving an injury that is covered on workmans comp do you still receive payment for the lost wages for the time your not able to work due to the injury?
It will depend on your state's worker's comp law. Each state varies. Each Workers comp agency has a webpage to answer your question. If you had medical bills from the fall, Workers comp will usually cover the medical cost if you filed a report with the employer when it happened.
What happens to workmen's comp if the employee is discharged from his job?
In the state of Indiana, you still will receive workmans compensation after being terminated from your job. You will receive workmans compensation until the doctor releases you.
