What are the consequences of failure to file the Form LS-202 within 10 days of the employers knowledge of the injury?
Failure to file the Form LS-202, Employer’s First Report of Injury, within the required timeframe may subject the employer to civil penalties up to $11,000. Such penalties are assessed by the District Director. Such failure also extends the time limitation for an employee to file a claim. The time to file a claim does not begin to run until the employer has filed the Form LS-202 with the OWCP.
