You have one year to file a claim. However there are exceptions to the general rule. The important thing is for you to report your imjury and get timely treatment. The longer you wait and continue working with your injury less chances that you get compensated fairly. Call us at 213.388.7070.

One of the exceptions is that you can also file within one year of getting any WC benefit.
