        "description": "**Notify your employer in writing within the state deadline (180 days in Utah, 120 in Idaho) and complete the claim form.** Your employer's insurer then decides on acceptance.[5][6] Key factors: Provide medical records proving work-related injury; common forklift issues like crushing or fractures qualify; attend all required treatments. Insurer may deny if late notice or pre-existing conditions alleged. Follow up persistently and appeal denials within 1 year. An attorney ensures proper filing and maximizes benefits like wage replacement."
