First Report of Injury - MN Work Comp

After you report your work-related injury to your employer, your employer is required to complete a First Report of Injury form. Your employer has 10 days to send this form to the workers’ compensation insurance company. If you miss three or more days, your employer and/or their insurer must file a copy of the First Report of Injury with the Department of Labor and Industry. Your employer or the insurer is required to provide you a copy of the First Report of Injury, as well as a copy of the Minnesota Workers’ Compensation System Employee Information Sheet.

Unfortunately, employers do not always follow the rules. It is not the responsibility of the employee to complete or file the First Report of Injury. However, if you need a blank copy of the form, it can be found here.

If you employer or their insurer did not provide you with a copy of the Minnesota Workers’ Compensation System Employee Information Sheet, or if you simply need some basic information about Minnesota Workers’ Comp., you can find a copy of the Information Sheet here.
