You can obtain information for all open and closed cases that are on our mainframe computer system.  To get details about the settlements and decisions issued on cases, click on the "More Info" button at the top right of the case information screen. To get an explanation of our case statuses, click here.  If you need more information, contact our Public Information staff.

After you click on the link below, you will leave the Commission's website, and you will get a blank case information screen. In the upper left corner, type in the case number and hit “Enter.”  For example, for case 07WC012345, type "07" in the first box, hit TAB, and type "12345" in the next box.

The screen shows dates next to the terms, "FIRST," "LAST," and "NEXT." The dates indicate the FIRST time a case came up for a status call, the most recent time (the LAST time) the case came up for a status call, and the NEXT time the case is scheduled to come up on a status call. If "00/00/00" appears, that means no date has been set.

Please be aware that the status call date is not a trial date. Trial dates are assigned at the status call.

If you have an attorney, please talk with him or her before coming to the Commission to confirm that your case is actually set for a trial.

If you do not have an attorney, you do not need to appear at the status call unless:

1.	You (or the other side) have followed the proper procedures for requesting a trial date or filing a motion; or
2.	Your case has been on file for over three years, at which time you must appear to show there is a good reason not to dismiss your case.

To return to the IWCC website from the case information screen, click the "Back" icon on your toolbar.

Because we update our database at night, the case screen is available Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Note:  Before 1985, the Commission numbered occupational disease cases as OD. These cases now appear as WC cases with an OD following the case number. To distinguish OD cases from WC cases with the same number, we have placed a "1" in the first field after the WC. If, for example, you wish to look up 78OD000500, type "78" before the WC, then type "100500." The system will display back "78WC10500 OD." For a brief time, the Commission identified settled cases as WS. To look up a WS case, type a "2" in the first field after the WC. There are only a few thousand OD and WS cases, all of which are closed.
