workers compensation

A group of eight moderate House Democrats unveiled a proposal Tuesday to reform the state's workers' compensation system, keeping the thorny issue of settlements but making several changes to a broader Senate measure.

A recent study shows that many low-wage employees fear losing their jobs in retaliation for filing a workers' comp claim, and therefore decide not to file claims when they are injured on the job.

When a work injury aggravates, reactivates or accelerates your arthritis or degenerative disc disease, you have a right to file for workers' compensation benefits.

Many workers are concerned about the effects that the current volatile economy might have on workers' compensation benefits. Fortunately, most of these concerns are unwarranted.

All United States employees have the right to receive workers' compensation benefits for injuries. Union workers are also entitled to additional benefits provided to them by their labor organization.

A proposed new law aims to reduce the costs of workers' compensation in Florida by limiting attorneys' fees available for those representing injured workers.

This will severely limit the ability of injured workers to obtain legal counsel.

To receive workers' compensation benefits, injured workers are required to report the injury to their employers.

Under Colorado law, workers must give this notice in writing and within four days of the injury. Workers who fail to give proper notice to their employers may be penalized.
