Reference library

Long-form reference material.

These are the comprehensive guides our editorial team maintains as permanent references. They are updated quarterly against current state statutes, recent appellate decisions, and enforcement data. If you want one document that covers everything, start with the Complete Workers Compensation Guide.

The reference library is where we collect the material that doesn’t fit neatly into a single monthly article. A Complete Guide pulls together the entire claims process into one continuous document so readers can navigate start to finish without jumping between pages. A state-by-state deadline reference collects notice periods, statute-of-limitations rules, and physician-choice standards in one place. These longer works sit alongside our journal and FAQ rather than replacing them — the journal covers current news and specific case patterns, the FAQ handles the most common questions, and the reference library is for readers who want depth.

Every reference is reviewed by an outside contributor with direct experience in the relevant area — former claims adjusters, labor commission staff, occupational medicine physicians, and plaintiff-side attorneys. Reviewers are named in the piece and disclose any active representation. Corrections are applied within 48 hours of verification and noted at the bottom of the affected document. The goal is reference material you can quote, print, and rely on without having to double-check against primary sources every time.

Our editorial team is working on state-by-state deep dives, a printable claimant checklist, and a glossary of workers compensation terminology. Subscribers to our journal are notified first when new references publish. Have a suggestion? Tell our editors.
