Arizona Workers’ Compensation: Claims, Disputes, and Help
On This Page
Which System Handles This Claim?
Arizona’s injured-worker resource page brings together claim forms, hearing requests, doctor-change requests, and reopening procedures. The Industrial Commission warns that it does not charge an injured worker a fee to file a workers’ compensation claim.
How Do I Report the Injury?
Notify your employer and obtain the information needed to identify the employer and the accident or occupational illness. Keep your own copy of what you submit; access to an online claim-status account is not proof that a particular form was filed.
What Do I File?
The commission lists Worker’s Report of Injury, Form 407, as a claimant form. Use the current form and instructions linked on the injured-worker page. Ask the Claims Division to confirm receipt and the insurer handling the claim if that information is missing.
What if Benefits Are Disputed?
The same official page provides Request for Hearing, Form 446, and Petition to Reopen, Form 528. A disagreement with a decision and a later request to reopen are different proceedings. Match your request to the notice and its deadline.
Where Can I Get Help, and What Should I Bring?
The commission also links a request to change doctors and its Resource Office. Before calling, note whether you need help with initial filing, a decision, treatment authorization, or reopening. Share the decision date and claim number with the official office, not with an unsolicited caller asking for a filing payment.
