When do insurers and third party administrators have to report an injury to the Division of Workers Compensation?
Insurers and third party administrators have thirty days from the employer’s knowledge of the injury to file a First Report of Injury with the Division of Workers’ Compensation under the rules and in such form and detail as the Division of Worker’s Compensation may require. The law provides that any employer or insurer who knowingly fails to report any accident to the Division of Worker’s Compensation or knowingly makes a false report or statement in writing to the Division of Worker’s Compensation shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
