Do you have to file workmen's comp if you lease contractors in the state of Texas?

Texas is the only voluntary Comp state. But employers remain liable for the workers' injuries and should opt out correctly if they choose to opt out - according to the state rules, filing their decision with the state and posting the proper notice to employees. Employers in all states need to realize they remain liable if they don't have coverage, and that their employees and their employees' families can sue them. Employees includes subcontractors, whether you're a homeowner using uninsured subcontractors or a large corporation.

If I have an open claim at a company and take a new job can I still receive workman's comp benefits?

Workers Compensation and unemployment benefits are two entirely different systems and so your workers compensation settlement should not hold any bearing on whether you can collect unemployment benefits.

Unemployment benefits are not an automatic, however. To qualify for unemployment insurance benefits, a worker must:

* Have worked a certain number of weeks during the year

* Have earned a certain amount of money in the past year

* Be actively looking for work

* Be unemployed through no fault of his own

A benefit in law is a benefit that stands over and above the parties.

Why need Business Interruption Insurance?

Business interruption insurance is to a business what disability insurance is to an individual. During the time that your business is suspended, due to an insured event, the insurance is intended to recover the lost profits and proportional fixed expenses. This should theoretically make the business "whole" during the suspension by reimbursing all of the continuing expenses. BEWARE insurance companies view depreciation as a variable expense, not ongoing overhead, and will attempt to exclude the depreciation on assets, whether destroyed or not, from any business interruption recovery.

If an employee is hurt on the job does workmans comp pay for any prescriptions?

Maybe. Workman's Compensation Insurance is regulated by state law. It designates what will or will not be covered by benefits.

Can you draw unemployment due to medical reasons?

If the reason you are under the doctor's care was work related you probably qualify for Workman's Compensation. I would think it would depend on the situation.

They care if you are able to work.

Are you supposed to get paid monthly for getting hurt on the job?

In general, the answer is "Yes".

If your employer at the time of the injury was required to and did maintain workers compensation coverage, that insurance should provide benefits of two main types. First, it should manage and pay for your reasonable medical expenses. Second, you are entitled to a percentage of your average weekly wage as calculated upon past earnings.

The law of the state in which the employer is primarily located governs workers compensation specifics. Variables include the size of employers that are required to furnish it (the law may not apply to employers having fewer than a specified number of employees). The injury much have occurred within the "course and scope" of employment, and the case law of the state involved generally defines what that means.

It is generally incumbent upon you to ensure that the employer has actual notice of the work-related injury within a stated period of time. If you do not, and if the employer does not otherwise have notice, you may prejudice your rights.

After receiving a fractured navicular bone and possibly a torn tendon in an on-the-job accident will workmen's comp offer you a settlement or will you have to sue them when you are released to work?

It is my understanding, at least in Indiana, that you can not sue Workmen's Comp, but you will be offered a settlement once you are released to return to work. I base that on my mother being on Workmen's Comp because of falling on a wet floor at work and breaking her shoulder in three places in July or August of last year. Her experience with Workmen's Comp has not been a pleasant one. She consulted an attorney who told her that she would be offered a settlement from Workmen's Comp once she was released to return to work, and that she had no choice but to accept what was offered. I don't know how many months ago she was released, but it has been several, and to my knowledge she has not received any type of settlement. The attorney told her that if she sues anyone, it would have to be the company she works for if she is not satisfied with the settlement from Workmen's Comp. I knew of another person who had a similar experience with Workmen's Comp. Both my mother and this other person had injuries that are permanent and will affect them the rest of their lives. I do not know when you sustained your injury, but my advise would to be to contact a good Workmen's Comp attorney and get his or her advise and guidance. Workmen's Comp does not always do what is right for the injured party. In fact, in the two cases I stated, Workmen's Comp did not do right toward either party.

What is Foreign Voluntary Workers Compensation?

Foreign Voluntary Worker's Compensation (FVWC) is a type of insurance coverage that offers more benefits to the standard domestic worker's compensation policies.
Many state workers' compensation won't cover injuries that occur internationally. Injuries like illness, contraction of diseases, or other bodily harm caused by war, terrorism, or even piracy are often not covered by normal worker's comp.
FVWC, however, often offers the following:
· Endemic disease coverage
· 24-hour coverage (instead of the standard working hours)
· Repatriation expense

FVWC policies differ from one insurance company to the next and it is advisable to check with each insurance company.

If an employee is hurt overseas and his/her employer does not have FVWC, then the employer could be liable for a lawsuit.
