After an injury and a report to the employer an employer’s supposed to send a notice to the insurance company within 10 days of receipt of that notice of injury. The insurance company then has 14 days to indicate whether they are accepting or denying liability. And in that time frame, benefits should be commenced. So there sometimes is a little bit of a delay from the date of the injury until payments are made, but once they accept responsibility for the injury payments are supposed to be made during the same weeks that that injured worker would have been working. They’re not supposed to show up a month later. So that’s and medical expenses are supposed to be paid within 30 days of the date of submission of the bill. So those are typically the wage loss and the medical expense pieces are typically the benefits that are the most prominent in a work comp claim.
