information and is only released to parties to the claim.

The employer’s name should be the same as reported to The Department of Workforce Services and as it
appears on your WORKERS’ COMPENSATION insurance policy.

and the employer gets a third copy and should maintain a copy of this report. The insurance carrier will send
the Labor Commission an electronic copy of the injury report.
*Failure to file this report with the insurance carrier or failure to provide the employee with a copy of the
report, is a Class C misdemeanor and can also result in a citation and a civil penalty for each violation as per

*If you dispute the validity of this claim you need to contact your insurance carrier, and you must still file the

Commission electronically. If the employer has no workers’ compensation insurance this form must be
submitted to the Labor Commission directly.
* Reminder: Inform your injured employee of his/her rights and obligations (as outlined on the
back of the employee’s copy) of Utah’s Workers’ Compensation Act.
