Common questions about Workers Compensation in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

What if my Arizona workers' comp claim is denied?

Request a hearing before the Industrial Commission within 90 days of the denial (ARS § 23-947). The hearing is before an administrative law judge with a more relaxed procedure than civil court. Decisions can be appealed to the Industrial Commission's en banc review and ultimately to the Arizona Court of Appeals. Most contested workers' comp cases settle through negotiation; trial-level hearings happen but are not the norm.

Does workers' compensation cover mental health injuries in Arizona?

Yes, but with restrictions. Mental injury claims arising from physical work injury (post-traumatic stress after a workplace accident, depression following a debilitating injury) are generally compensable. Pure mental-mental claims (psychological injury without physical trauma) are compensable only in limited situations - typically if caused by an unexpected, unusual, extraordinary stress under ARS § 23-1043.01.

Can I see my own doctor for a work injury in Arizona?

Generally yes. Arizona workers' compensation does not require treatment by an employer-selected physician for most claims; workers can choose their own treating doctor. However, if the worker's employer is self-insured or has a managed-care arrangement, choices may be restricted. Insurers may require an Independent Medical Examination (IME) at any point in the claim.
