Industrial Commission

What Is The Idaho Industrial Commission?

The Idaho Industrial Commission is the state agency, which administers the Idaho Workers' Compensation Law.

When formal hearings are held on disputed workers' compensation claims, the Industrial Commission makes findings of fact and reaches legal conclusions, then issues a decision containing its findings of fact and conclusions of law.

Industrial Commission employees can assist you with many of your questions or concerns about workers' compensation. However, they cannot provide you with legal advice. If you believe that you need legal advice, you should consult an attorney.
