There are generally four types of workplace injuries covered by workman's compensation laws. Traumatic physical injuries are the most commonly claimed. Repeated trauma, mental injury, and Occupational diseases (such as asbestosis) complete the list.

Independent contractors are in most cases not included in workers' compensation; however, the description of what is an independent contractor may be arguable. In this instance, consultation with a lawyer may be helpful.

If you need to mail your workers' compensation forms, be sure to send it by certified mail and also get a return receipt. Above all, be sure to keep copies, and be meticulous about documenting everything.

The first workman's compensation law in the United States was passed in Maryland in 1902 and the first workman's comp act covering federal employees was enacted in 1906. By 1949, all states had passed some form of workman's compensation legislation.

In some cases, employees may only want to see a certain doctor, and in that case an agreement may be made between the employer and the employee if this is a possibility.

03/26/2019

Workers' compensation is a form of insurance that the employer pays for. Once an employee is injured, the company that the employee works for will provide for medical expenses and a percentage of wages while the employee is not able to work.

03/25/2019

Did you know that workers' compensation cannot be legally terminated without the approval of the Industrial Commission? The Industrial Commission is the state-led administrative body governing workers' comp law, as well as the court that litigates disputes.

Remember in this day and age of social media, not only are insurance companies using investigators to follow people, they are viewing and sometimes using formal discovery to get the Applicant's social media pages. They do this to see if anything contained therein, photos or postings about activities, vacations or employment contradicts any position taken in the Workers compensation case about ability to work or extent of injury.

One more reason, other than perjury and insurance fraud, to always tell the truth in every aspect of a Workers compensation case.

03/21/2019

Did you know that if an injured worker refuses what's termed "suitable employment," workers' comp can be suspended? Speak to an attorney to determine whether the alternative work offer is in fact "suitable" for your situation.

03/20/2019

Unfortunately in some instances employers retaliate against the employee who had an injury or illness. Retaliation is illegal and in instances where an injured employee feels they have been treated as so should consult an attorney.

03/19/2019

Each state has their own workers' compensation laws, and federal employees have their own laws as well. Some states are not required to have workers' compensation insurance, such as the state of Texas.

If a workplace injury leaves the worker with permanent damage to a body part, the doctor will assign a rating of permanent impairment or disability. This allows for the calculation of additional compensation to which the worker may be entitled.
