Accident Report
K-WC1101-A(Rev.10-13)
If you were hurt on the job and have any questions about workers compensation
benefi ts, contact the Ombudsman/Claims Advisory Unit of the Division of Workers
Compensation. The division has full-time personnel who specialize in aiding injured
workers with claim information and problems. They can provide information about
benefi ts an injured worker may be entitled to receive. They can help solve problems with
benefi ts not being paid on time, medical treatment, unpaid medical bills, questions about
how to fi gure settlement amounts, etc. Assistance in Spanish is available.
WHAT TO DO IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS ON THE JOB
1. Tell your employer that you were hurt on the job.
2. Follow your employer’s instructions for getting medical aid and follow the doctor’s
instructions.
3. Within 200 days of the date of accident or date of last payment of compensation for
disability or date of last authorized medical care, tell your employer in writing that you
expect workers compensation benefi ts for your injury. Your employer might know you
were hurt and compensation may be paid, however, you could lose all rights to future
compensation if you do not tell the employer in writing. This is called a Written Claim for
Workers Compensation, K-WC 15, and is available from the division. A written claim may
be served in person by taking it to the employer to complete, sign, date top half and return
it to injured worker (injured worker completes bottom half), or by mailing it to the employer
by certifi ed mail, return receipt requested. The post offi ce receipt for the certifi ed letter is
generally suffi cient proof that you submitted a written claim.
AVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE: A worker’s “average weekly wage” is calculated by adding
together the base wage, the average weekly overtime and the weekly value of fringe
benefi ts that have been discontinued.
WEEKLY BENEFITS: Benefi ts are paid by the employers insurance carrier or self-
insurance program. Injured workers are not entitled to compensation for the fi rst week they

are off work unless they lose three consecutive weeks. The fi rst compensation payment
is normally due at the end of the 14th day of lost time. An injured employee is entitled to a
weekly amount of 66 2/3 percent of his average weekly wage up to a maximum of 75 percent
of the state’s average weekly wage. These benefi ts are subject to legislative changes. If
the injury results in permanent disability, the Kansas workers compensation law provides for
additional benefi ts.
MEDICAL BENEFITS: An injured worker is entitled to all medical services reasonably
necessary to cure and relieve the worker from the effects of the injury. The employer has
the right to select the doctor who will treat the injury. A worker may seek the services of an
unauthorized doctor up to a limit of $500. A worker may apply to the Workers Compensation
Director to change the authorized treating doctor. Reimbursement for travel to obtain medical
treatment is payable at a rate set by law for trips that are fi ve miles or more (round trip).
1. Employers must report all employee injuries to the Division of Workers Compensation
within 28 days from the date of injury, or the date the employer learned about the injury,
when the employee is wholly or partially incapacitated for more than the remainder of the
day, turn or shift.
2. Employers must provide for the payment of workers compensation claims without any
charge to employees.
3. Employers must post the Workers Compensation Notice prepared by the Director.
4. Employers must pay compensation benefi ts, regardless of insurance coverage.
5. Upon receiving notice of an injury, the employer must provide the employee written
information to assist the injured worker in understanding his rights and responsibilities in
obtaining compensation.

Si usted se ha lastimado en su trabajo, y tiene preguntas con respecto a los beneficios de la Compensación de
Trabajadores, comuníquese con la SECCIÓN DE CONSULTORES DE RECLAMOS/OMBUDSMAN de la
División de Compensación para Trabajadores de Kansas. Esta Divisón mantiene personal especializado en proveer
asistencia con problemas de reclamos y en dar información sobre estos a los trabajadores lastimados. Este per-
sonal le puede informar sobre los beneficios que un trabajador lastimado tiene derecho a recibir. También pueden

médico, facturas de doctores que aún no se han pagado, y también con preguntas respecto a la cantidad del arreglo
(settlement). En la División de Compensación de Trabajadores hay asistencia disponible en Español.
¿QUE HACER SI LE SUCEDE UN ACCIDENTE EN EL TRABAJO?
1. Avísele inmediatamente al empleador que usted se ha lastimado en su trabajo. Dentro de 10 dias del accidente.
2. Siga las instrucciones del empleador con respecto al tratamiento médico, y siga las instrucciones del doctor.
3. Dentro de 200 días del accidente, o del último día en que le pagaron compensación por estar incapacitado, o en que
recibió tratamiento médico autorizado, avísele al empleador POR ESCRITO que usted espera recibir los beneficios
de compensacion de trabajodores por su accidente. Aunque su empleador ya se haya informado del accidente, y ya le
esté pagando los beneficios, usted puede perder el derecho de recibir compensación en el futuro, si no le avisa al em-
pleador POR ESCRITO. Esta documentación es lo que se llama AVISO POR ESCRITO (WRITTEN CLAIM).
El Aviso Por Escrito se puede entregar al empleador de dos maneras diferentes: Se lo puede entregar en persona, y al
mismo tiempo que se lo entrega, pídale un recibo. También se lo puede enviar por correo certificado, y el recibo será

de su sueldo semanal, hasta llegar a un máximo equivalente al 75% porciento del promedio de sueldos semanales desig-
nado por el Estado de Kansas. Estos beneficios son sujetos a cualquier cambio que ordene la legislatura del estado. Si
el accidente resulta en una incapacidad permanente, la ley de compensación en Kansas le da derecho a otros beneficios
adicionales.

curar y aliviarle de los efectos del accidente. El empleador, tiene derecho a escojer el doctor para dar el tratamiento
médico necesario. El trabajador tiene derecho de escoger los servicios de otro doctor no autorizado hasta llegar al límite

sados según sean establecidos por la ley, siempre y cuando sean más de (5) cinco millas viaje redondo.
