The Idaho Industrial Commission receives approximately 45,000 reports about
workers injured on the job each year. Three dozen or more of those result in
fatality. This page outlines basic information for workers injured on the
job. We have outlined these basic areas:
 |
Reporting injuries |
 |
If a work-related injury or illness results in lost work
time or requires medical treatment, that injury or illness must be reported
to the Idaho Industrial Commission. This is done with a First Report of
Injury or Illness form.
The form can be downloaded here:
The Microsoft Word form can be filled out and emailed as an
attachment to froi@iic.idaho.gov.

Rehabilitation |

The Industrial Commission offers
rehabilitation services to Idaho workers

professionals can help workers get back to work after a disabling injury or
illness.

Disputed claims |
|
There are many reasons for a dispute to arise in a claim.
These disputes can sometimes center around complicated legal issues. The
assistance of an attorney may be needed. Only a hundred or so claims each
year require a hearing to settle disputes. Several hundred more are settled
in mediation. Click the links below to learn more.

Company audits |
|
The Industrial Commission conducts regular compliance audits of insurers
and their designated in-state adjusters. The
calendar is available to the public. In addition, the Commission
solicits public comments in advance
of Commission audits.
