Common questions about Workers Compensation in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

How long do workers' compensation benefits last in Arizona?

Temporary benefits continue until the worker reaches Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). After MMI, permanent benefits are determined: schedule injuries (specific body parts) under ARS § 23-1044(A) pay specific amounts based on impairment ratings; unscheduled injuries pay benefits for life of the disability. Total permanent disability can result in lifetime benefits at the full disability rate.

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.
