Montana Workers’ Compensation Reporting Requirements
Workplace Injuries-If you suffer an injury on the job, you have a couple of filing deadlines you must meet. Montana law requires you to notify your employer within thirty days of the date you were injured. The notice must include:
- The date of the injury
- The time the injury occurred
- The place where the injury occurred, and
- The nature of the worker’s injury.
Within 12 months of your injury, you must file a First Report of Injury (FROI) to the following:
Your employer,
The Workers’ Compensation insurer, or
The Department of Labor and Industry, Employment Relations Division at 1805 Prospect, P.O. Box 8011,
Helena, MT 59604.
Workplace Diseases– If you are suffering from an occupational disease, you must file a signed First Report of Injury within one year of the date your disease was diagnosed. To have a valid occupational disease claim your employment must be a major contributing factor.
