Understand the issue before requesting a review
North Dakota Workforce Safety & Insurance provides an official reporting process and information for injured employees. An employer report, a WSI claim and a written benefit decision are different records. Identify the employer, worksite, reporting history and current claim stage. This website’s inquiry form does not submit a WSI report or appeal. Use WSI’s current instructions for official submissions.

USAGov: finding a lawyer or affordable legal aid provides an independent starting point for finding help.
Identify the city and the court, agency or organization shown on existing papers. Explain any connection to another state.
What WSI decision or reporting step is involved, and which official instructions should I check?
Ask who would handle the matter, what the review covers, how fees and expenses are calculated, and when the provider has agreed to act. Get the scope and fee terms in writing before agreeing to representation.
No. The website inquiry is separate from official WSI reporting or review procedures. Read the current agency instructions and identify any date on your actual notice.
Give a short factual summary, the location connected to the matter and its current stage. Sending an inquiry is free. Our intake system receives it and may share it with a participating firm if available. Submitting does not hire a lawyer, file a claim or protect a deadline. Keep identity numbers and sensitive documents out of the form.
