A WC-14 Notice of Claim starts your workersโ comp case with the State Board of Workersโ Compensation and lets the other side know you have a lawyer now.ย It is NOT a lawsuit or litigation.ย Itโs our attempt to get your benefits started by โplaying niceโ and hoping the other side does the right thing, but if they do not, we will file a hearing request after a week or so!
