West Virginia
Injured Worker Guide
The worker's compensation system can be complicated, and each state has its own laws regarding workers' compensation.
The information contained in your state's guide provides a general guide for workers injured or made ill on the job.
This state-issued publication will assist you in navigating the workers' compensation system and serve as a resource for basic legal rights as well as steps to take to initiate workers' compensation benefits, deadlines and who to contact for additional assistance.
If you have questions about the workers' compensation process, this guide will provide the contact information for the regulatory agency for your state. In addition, many states have an ombudsman to oversee and assist all interested parties in the workers' compensation system.
