Three Forms That Injured People Should Know

We have compiled a few of the most important forms in one place for you with a short explanation to help you through the process.

  • Predesignation form: A predesignation form is a form that allows an injured worker to predesignate a physician before their industrial injury.
  • Workers’ compensation claim form (DCW-1): This form is required to begin the process for a claim for workers’ compensation benefits.
  • Intake questionnaire: An intake questionnaire gives your workers’ compensation attorney the essential information they need to begin your representation.

Get The Help You Need

Understanding the workers’ compensation forms is very helpful. But, the most important thing you can do is work with an experienced attorney who can help you through the workers’ compensation process.
