- Workman's Compensation Insurance is specifically for work related injuries. State laws control the way WCI is regulated, meaning the requirements that are needed to collect a claim, the amount of the claim and so forth. Not all employer's are required to participate in WCI therefore not all employee's would have access to the program.
- In the UK an employer is responsible for injuries caused in the workplace if the employer was in some way negligent or breached other UK regulations. For example - if a workman hurt his foot due to a defective work machine - the employer would be liable to pay compensation.

Asked in Law & Legal Issues
You are a plumber that hurt your right hand on the job you are getting workmens comp you also have a 2nd job as a part time janitor but you are still working your 2nd job is this legal?
Yes, this is completely legal. If you are hurt on a job you are
entitled to workman's compensation as long as you are in some way
hurt, even if you could continue to do the job. So yes, you can
still work your second job. However if you are hurt in one job and
cannot perform the other, whether you get workman's compensation
for the injury or not will not make a difference if you get fired
from your other job or not because you cannot do it.
Asked in Insurance, Workers Compensation
Why do you need workers compensation?
You don't; unless you have people working for you that could get
hurt. If you do have people working for you then you need it in
case someone gets hurt while they are working. The workers comp
will pay for their medical treatment and other costs. It protects
the employeer so they can't get sued for everything they own.

Asked in Workers Compensation
If you hurt yourself at work and failed a drug test are you able to collect workmens comp?
You could fight it, but you'll probably lose. Since you've
failed the blood test then you zapped yourself! Drugs and work just
don't mix. Workmen's Comp is only there when you've had a genuine
accident. If you were doing drugs (even Marijuana) WCB has a good
case NOT to pay you. If you were on a cold medication and you
failed a blood test then you might have had a chance. Marcy

Asked in Cable Internet, Jobs, Workers Compensation
If you were hurt on the job but your job consists of working in people's homes can you sue the homeowner for an attic ladder breaking plus get workmens comp?
Answer
"Sue" just means "ask". You're asking the courts to award you
money to offset real or perceived harm. The court will then look at
all of the events leading up to the harm and make a determination
about whether you have a valid claim. If it turns out to be caused
by something that YOU did, the courts probably won't award you what
you're asking.
If you were hurt on the job, and you are a
contractor, you are supposed to be responsible for your own
medical/insuranc bills. If you are an employee of someone who sent
you to work on a house, your employer is required to carry workmens
compensation insurance. If you're just helping out a neighbor, you
might be entitled to compensation for damages, but consider what it
will do to your relationship with the neighbor. What you're asking
does not have a simple answer.
