The Arizona workers' comp system
Arizona's system is run by the Industrial Commission of Arizona. Claims are filed with the Commission, and under A.R.S. 23-908, employers and attending physicians must report known work injuries that need medical treatment to the Commission and the employer's insurance carrier.
