Anecdotal evidence suggests that some injured workers do not file for workers' compensation claims. This article provides evidence of this under-reporting, based on a national survey of Canadian workers. Forty percent of workers who had experienced an injury elibible for workers' compensation had not filed a claim. Policy makers therefore need to do more to ensure that all relevant parties are aware of their obligations to report work injuries.
