Your employer should have that form. If your employer says they don\u2019t have the form or refuses to give it to you, go to the Alaska Workers Compensation Board and tell them that you want to report your injury.\u00a0 The Board\u2019s office is at: 3301 Eagle Street Suite 304, Anchorage.\u00a0\u00a0 In Fairbanks, it\u2019s at 756 Seventh Avenue Station K.\u00a0\u00a0 There is a Juneau office as well.\u00a0 Call them at (907) 465-2790.<\/p>\n<p>Second, if your doctor says you can\u2019t work, then you need to get a disability slip from him.\u00a0 Some doctors call this slip a \u201cwork release\u201d.\u00a0 You need to give that disability slip to your employer.\u00a0 If the insurance company has already contacted you, then you should send them a copy.\u00a0 You need to keep a copy for yourself and make a note of the date when you gave the slip to your employer or the insurer.<\/p>\n<p>Third, you need to pull together your tax records from the previous two calendar years. If you were injured in 2015, then you need to pull together 2014 and 2013.\u00a0 If you didn\u2019t file taxes, you need to collect all of your W-2s.\u00a0 You need to give a copy of these records to the adjuster so he or she can calculate your compensation rate.\u00a0 You should keep a copy for yourself and again make a note of the date you gave this documentation to the adjuster.<\/p>\n<p>Keenan Powell has practiced Workers Compensation law in the State of Alaska for over 30 years and has dedicated her practice to Workers Compensation representing injured Alaskans. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keenanpowell.com\/\">www.keenanpowell.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All consultations are free.<\/strong>\u00a0 To make an appointment, use the contact form on this website or call:\u00a0 (907) 258-7663.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re first injured at work, there a three things you need to do.
