Question

If you are injured on the job and file a wc claim how long will it take and what about income from employer?

Answer 1

A WC claim, once validated and accepted, entitles you to medical care for the injury and temporary disability for lost work time.  The disability comes from the WC insurer, not directly from the employer.

It is YOUR responsibility to promptly notify your employer of the injury, file and claim and cooperate with the health care provider.

Answer 2

You also have to be out of work for 30 days before you qualify for any benefits.
