Workers’ Comp FAQ: Getting Answers After Your Workplace Accident

A workplace injury can leave you with more questions than answers. At Curt Hamilton Injury Law, we want to help you get the information you need before you make any major decisions regarding workers’ compensation or accepting a settlement. To help guide you to a favorable outcome in your compensation claim, here are some answers you may need:

Does it make a difference how the accident happened?

Unlike nonwork-related personal injuries, liability is rarely a factor in workers’ compensation claims. In addition to receiving workers’ compensation, it may be possible that a third party also is liable for your injuries, which could create an opportunity for a third-party compensation claim. This is especially true in work-related car accident cases.

What happens if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?

If your compensation claim ends in denial, you may be able to file an appeal. We can help you explore the chances of appealing the denial and build a stronger claim if there are grounds for an appeal. If appealing the denial is not possible, we can also help look into other methods of compensation, like third-party claims.

Does it matter if the injury happened in Kentucky or Indiana?

Each state has its own workers’ comp system. We handle workers’ comp in Kentucky as well as Indiana, and we are well-versed in each state’s laws. We can help navigate you and your claim through any difficulties that may arise because of laws in either Kentucky or Indiana.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In both Indiana and Kentucky, the statute of limitations on a workers’ compensation claim is two years, but you need to be sure to report your injury to your employer as soon as possible following the injury. While you may have up to two years to file your claim, you may not be able to wait that long for your compensation, so be sure to act as soon as possible to pursue your fair settlement.
