        "description": "**Notify your employer orally and in writing within 30 days (Utah) or 60 days (Idaho), then file Form 1 with the state commission.**[1][6]\n\nThe employer/insurer investigates; if approved, benefits start; if denied, request a hearing.\n\n- Get medical treatment on approved providers.\n- Keep records of all communications and expenses.\n- Ladder defects or improper setup strengthen claims.[2][7]\n\nHire an attorney early—they take cases on contingency (no upfront fees) and increase settlement value by 40% on average.\n\nMost claims resolve without court, but pros handle disputes."
