What to Expect After Filing a Workers Compensation Claim

Seek medical attention for your injuries

If necessary, seek medical attention for your injuries, especially if they are severe.

Report your claim

Your employer is responsible for reporting your claim to Travelers. As soon as you’re able, notify them of your workplace injury or illness. Once the claim has been reported, Travelers may contact you to gather details about your injury.

Understand your responsibilities

During the claim process, it’s critical that you keep your medical appointments and communicate with your employer and Claim professional so they’re aware of your recovery status.

Throughout the claim process, you will need to fill out forms. Some will be provided by your Travelers Claim professional and others are available in the section below.
