A:Yes, there are a variety of time limits on workers' compensation claims depending on how your claim has been handled so far. You must report a work-related injury to your employer within 120 days of the date of injury. If your claim for workers' compensation benefits is denied, you have 3 years from the date of your injury to file a Claim Petition to litigate your rights. Those are just two examples. Failure to understand the various time limits on workers' compensation claims can result in the forfeiture of your ability to receive benefits.
