Aviation Workers’ Compensation Process & Tips

What happens after the initial reporting of an aviation workers’ compensation claim?

  • The first report of injury will be reviewed to determine classification: loss time or medical only.
  • A claim will be set up and assigned a claims number.
  • All loss time claims will be assigned to an adjuster for a complete investigation.
  • On loss time claims, the employer, injured worker, and physician will be contacted by the adjuster within approximately 24-48 hours.
  • On medical-only claims, the employer will be contacted and the file will remain open for 90 days to pay medical bills.

Aviation Workers’ Compensation Claims Tips

  • Report all claims (including potential ones) as soon as you become aware of the accident using one of the claims reporting options listed above.
  • Indicate if the injured worker has returned to work, noting the actual return to work date.
  • Provide all contact numbers for yourself as well as the injured worker. Provide mobile phone numbers if available.
  • State the type of injury and the body part affected before giving a detailed description of the injury.
