Accidents can happen when you least expect them, but when they do, Humano is here to guide you through the process. We understand how vital it is to file your workers’ compensation claim quickly—especially in California, where it’s required to file within 24 hours. As a trusted broker partnering with a wide range of carriers, Humano helps you navigate the complexities of workers’ comp, so your business and employees stay protected.
Why Filing Quickly Is Critical in California
California workers’ comp laws require you, as an employer, to act fast when a workplace injury occurs. You must provide your employee with a Workers’ Compensation Claim Form (DWC 1) within 24 hours of learning about the injury. This isn’t just about compliance—it’s about making sure your employees get the care they need as soon as possible, and ensuring your business stays protected from potential legal issues.
Humano’s Easy Claims Checklist
To help you stay on top of everything, Humano has created a straightforward claims checklist. Whether you’re new to workers’ comp or simply want to ensure you’re doing things correctly, this checklist makes the process clear and manageable.
Here’s how to get started in California:
- Report the Injury ASAP: You need to report the injury within 24 hours of being notified. Having your injured employee join the call can help streamline the process and ensure accuracy.
- Provide the DWC 1 Form: California law requires you to give the injured employee a Workers’ Compensation Claim Form (DWC 1) within one business day. Humano will guide you through this, ensuring you’re following the proper procedures.
