Workers' Compensation Laws
Learning About Workers' Comp Laws
Workers' compensation law is a vast subject and a Kansas City workers' compensation lawyer can explain how it applies to your particular case and which laws are particularly relevant. A basic understanding of workers' compensation laws, however, is very helpful as you navigate the workers' comp process.
Some of the fundamental laws of this field include:
- An employer is required by law to have workers' compensation coverage for his or her employees
- You cannot be fired or discriminated against for receiving workers' comp benefits or making workers' comp claims
- You cannot sue your employer directly for a work-related injury except in very limited circumstances.
- Workers' compensation may not cover you or will have limited benefits if your accident or injury occurred while you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or violating your workplace safety standards
- You may be reimbursed for your medical care and related mileage as well as receiving Temporary Total Disability Benefits (TTD), Temporary Partial Disability Benefits (TPD), Permanent Total Disability Benefits (PTD) or Permanent Partial Disability Benefits (PPD) as applicable
- Death and funeral benefits apply if you have lost a loved one due to an on-the-job injury
