Please visit our web site for more information on Workers' Comp and our contact information at http://wernlawyers2.lawoffice.com Workers' compensation claim may be barred if employee misconduct is involved An employee injured at work is usually eligible for workers' compensation benefits, including cost of medical care and compensation for lost wages. It generally does not matter what the cause of the injury was, nor whether the employee was responsible for the accident or if the employer caused the injury. The workers' compensation system is designed to assist injured employees regardless of fault. In limited cases, however, the fault of the employee may affect the ability to receive benefits. Since this type of exception is contrary to the purpose of workers' compensation laws it is only available in extreme cases. Click here to unsubscribe from this newsletter. |
