Workers’ Compensation covers most but not all workers.
Workers’ Compensation is insurance paid for by the employer.
You have a deadline to report an injury or illness to your employer.
Your employer must submit a report to the insurance company.
You have a deadline to file a claim.
Workers’ Compensation bars you from suing your employer for most actions.

Is Workers’ Comp Insurance Coverage Dependent On Accident Facts?

Workers’ Compensation Insurance coverage is a form of strict liability.

Before you file a claim, it is important to cover what costs are covered by workers’ compensation. Whether the employer or worker is responsible or partly responsible for the accidental job-related injury or illness, the employer’s insurance policy must bear the cost of:

Some states allow funeral expenses, as well as death benefits. Medical treatment
Lost wages
Death benefits to a surviving spouse

What you do after an accident at work can impact your workers’ compensation claim. Your priority should be your safety and well-being. Always seek medical care after an accident to have proof of your injuries.

Report the incident to your manager immediately. Your manager or the HR department will let you know what documents you need to fill out for insurance purposes. Also, our lawyers can protect your best interest and help secure the benefits you need.

Can a Workers’ Compensation Law Firm Sue Your Employer?

In most cases, you cannot sue your employer. However, you may be able to sue if there was an unsafe condition on the job that was in violation of Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules. OSHA governs workplace safety, and federal safety regulations are in a different jurisdiction than workers’ compensation law.

If a third party is responsible for your injury, you can collect workers’ compensation from your employer and also sue the third party. For instance, what if cleaning your office building is contracted out to another company? If you slip on wax buildup on the floor, you can, in most cases, sue the cleaning company. If your injury is due to malfunctioning equipment, you can file for workers’ comp and sue the manufacturer.

Does Workers’ Compensation Differ in Each State?

Each state has different laws governing workers’ compensation, but most states have similar laws. Knowing the labor laws that impact your case is essential for filing workers’ compensation claims correctly. We can help you navigate the legal framework of your claim.

If you were injured in a workplace accident in Kentucky, you might wonder who is eligible for workers’ compensation. Kentucky workers’ compensation law allows workers who are permanently disabled to receive permanent disability.

Some laws that may differ from state to state include time limits for how long you may receive benefits and whether you can elect to receive benefits in a lump sum. If you decide to take action, knowing when to file a lawsuit or collect workers’ comp is crucial. Missing the deadlines can endanger your chances of recovering benefits.

In order to fully understand your state laws regarding workers’ compensation, you should consult with an attorney with experience in workers’ comp claims. The rules are complicated, and there are strict deadlines for filing a claim and for appealing if you are denied.
