If I am injured, do I have to file a claim form?
No. There is no requirement to a file a form with the Industrial Commission, however, in order to protect your statutory rights it is highly recommended that you file Form 18. A Form 18 is a Notice of Accident which lets the Industrial Commission, your employer, and their insurance carrier know that you are claiming a work-related injury. If a Form 18 is not filed within two years then your claim may be time barred and no recovery may be had.
