Workers’ Compensation Claims Reporting

What do I do after a Workers’ Compensation accident occurs?

• Secure medical treatment for your injured employee. If during normal business hours, use an Occupational Medicine Clinic instead of an emergency room. The cost savings can be significant. If you need assistance locating a clinic, please contact us at 1-877-257-2743.

• If possible, have the injured employee complete an Employee Accident Report Form before seeking treatment, to gather information about the accident in the injured employee’s own words.

• Management personnel on premises at the time of the incident should complete the Supervisor’s Accident Investigation Form to gather the facts surrounding the incident including any witnesses to the incident.

• If you have a drug/alcohol screening policy in effect, have employee submit to a post-accident drug/alcohol screen as soon as the injury is reported to you, even if the accident occurred several days prior.

• If injured employee refuses drug/alcohol screening or medical treatment, have employee complete the appropriate refusal forms.

• Report the claim by phone to LRA/SIF Claims Management at 1-877-257-2743 or on line at www.lraclaims.com as soon as possible following the injury/accident.. After reporting the injury/accident, the Intake Operator will provide you with an LRA/SIF Claim Number. Referencing the Claim Number will help expedite the handling of the rest of the claim. Please include the Claim Number with all future correspondence, such as wage statements, medical bills, etc.

• Forward a copy of the employee’s LA OWCA Second Injury Board Knowledge Questionnaire to the LRA/SIF claims office by fax to (504) 888-9033.

• If your employee is not able to return to work full duty immediately following an injury/accident, cooperate with the LRA/SIF to identify modified or transitional duty work where appropriate. Modified or transitional duty work helps the employee recover more quickly, both mentally and physically and can mean tremendous cost savings on your workers’ compensation claim.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the LRA/SIF Claims office at the telephone

number above for assistance with the claim.

My signature on this form does indicate that I was offered medical attention by my employer for this work-related accident, but I refused it at this time. I understand that I am not required to sign this form as a condition of my continued employment. I willingly sign this form to indicate that my employer has offered me medical attention as a result of the incident listed above, but I feel such medical attention to be unnecessary at this time.
