Yes. Just inform you adjuster that you wish to withdraw the claim. They may want you to submit a statement in writing just to protect themselves but it should an easy process. For full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Agency in Gordon, Georgia and have for 22 years. I also worked as an agent for a direct writer for 3 years before that.

Yes, they do. There are a few minor conditions, but any home loan agency or bank can use the VA to 'guarantee' a home loan.

Probably. If you don't like it, you can take it up with the department of labor, but generally speaking if you were injured off the job your employer is not obligated to pay you to do a job you can no longer do, or to displace another worker so that you can do "light work."

Unlikely. You will need to make a good case to the unemployment department.

This depends in what state your business is located.

This depends upon what conditions existed, prior to the firing of an individual. There are certain laws enacted that protect an individual(s). It also depends on what typeof employment contract you (or the person affected) accepted as terms of employment. There are employment contracts out there that can employ and fire at will with no cause. Each situation is different, and since you question is too generalized, this is the basic information I can supply for the time being.

If you make less than about $1000 per month. The amount increases every year. You can cause SSDI to check you out to see if you no longer needs SSDI.

Yes, a sole proprietor can be exempt from mandatory WC coverage in New York State.

c. A sole proprietor or partner, who has previously elected coverage or has no other persons requiring coverage, may elect to be excluded from coverage.

Unless this was somehow work-related, no. I believe stress can aggravate this condition, so there might be some benefit available.

In New York you can not collect both at the same time. If you can prove, which would be hard without physical evidence, that you were fired due to the injury you can sue the employer. But if you are collecting comp you can file a claim for unemployment but I would wait until the comp is up.

It doesn't, unless the accident occurred while the person was driving a company owned vehicle and actually working on the job at the time of the accident.

The form is calld, C1.

It just depends on the nature of the employment.

If the worker is a tradesman who offered to do a repair job on your home, then they are self employed and are responsible for providing their own insurance for the hazards they and their workers may face while on the job. Never hire a contractor who can't provide you proof that he is properly insured for the work to be performed.

If the worker is a w-2 wage earner then you are responsible for providing Workman's compensation or some equivalent liability coverage for mishaps or accidental injury while on the job.
