Common questions about Workers Compensation in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
What benefits does Arizona workers' compensation provide?
Under ARS Title 23, Chapter 6, Arizona workers' compensation provides medical care for the work-related injury or illness, temporary disability benefits (typically 66 2/3 % of the worker's average monthly wage during recovery), permanent partial or total disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and death benefits to dependents. Most benefits are administered by the Industrial Commission of Arizona.
How do I file a workers' compensation claim in Arizona?
Notify your employer in writing as soon as possible (ideally within 1 year - ARS § 23-1061) and complete a Worker's Report of Injury form. The employer or its insurer files with the Industrial Commission. If the claim is denied or benefits are insufficient, you can request a hearing before an Industrial Commission administrative law judge. Most workers receive benefits without litigation, but contested cases require legal representation.
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.
