First, you need to notify your employer of your injury or illness.  Next, your employer must file the Employers’ First Report of Injury or Fatality (Form 101) with the Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA) and your employer’s insurance carrier within seven days from the 5th day of lost time due to injury or illness.  You will receive a copy of this report once it is filed. If your employer does not send Form 101 to its insurance carrier within 30 days of your injury, you must send the form to the carrier yourself.
