All 50 States link to agencies

Here is a link that seems to have info on each state's agencies involved with workers comp. I provide it to make a point that each state has its own way to handle work injuries. While the laws and procedures can seem the same they are in fact different from one state to another. Workers compensation is a creature of statute (created by each state legislature) and the rules, procedures and caselaw vary from one state to another.
