Workers Compensation

Certainly. An employer has ZERO duty to allow your meds as an excuse for failing to perform as required, whether you tell the boss of the drugs or not.

We have an Australian Standard , AS18851 which specifies 12 months or 220 days to be recorded as lost time for a fatality, while OSHA doesn't mention fatalities in relation to lost time but caps all it's lost time days at 180.

According to Reed, Shedd, Morehead and Corley (2004), the provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 apply to employers with 15 or more employees. They also cover labor unions and certain others (see box, below). The major purpose of these laws is to eliminate job discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Discrimination for any of these reasons is a violation of the law, except that employers, employment agencies, and labor unions can discriminate on the basis of religion, sex, or national origin where these are bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQs) reasonably

necessary to normal business operations. Title VII also permits discrimination

if it results unintentionally from a seniority or merit system.

In Michigan, all employers are required to have workers' compensation insurance on their employees. If an employee is hurt on the job, then it should be reported to the company and a claim filed. The carrier will then review the claim and make a determination whether they believe it is a legit claim and can be processed. In this case, the company's insurance carrier will pay the bills (medical bills, appointment bills, required medical equipment, and for mileage). If they believe it is not an injury covered under workers' comp, then they will protest the claim and the person may have to obtain a lawyer.

Points to remember, there are some injuries that even though they occurred at work, they are not covered. For example, if you break your leg while horseplaying around, they can legally deny the claim. If you were doing something against company policies that endangered your life and others, it may be protested.

One last thing to keep in mind, if you have a pre-existing condition that is aggravated by your work and you need treatment, that IS usually covered under workers' compensation. But not in all cases - some employees who suffered a heart-attack on the job will not be covered under WC.

If a Section 12 independent medical exam is requested by the employer, travel expense is supposed to be advanced before attending the exam. If a worker also has a lost day's wages to attend the exam or 1/2 a day's wages lost, then the workers comp act provides for reimbursement of the lost wages or partial lost wages.

An employer is not required to pay lost wages to attend a treating doctor's visit appointment. That is normally to be scheduled for off work hours.

In most states the rate is 66.2/3 % based on your last month's earnings.

State of California Worker's Compensation laws say that for a single injury, a person can collect a check every two week for no more than 104 compensable weeks. All of these weeks must fall within five years from the date of the injury. For more serious injuries such as amputations, California allows 240 weeks of payments within five years.

Not in Iowa they don't, workman's comp is not taxable.

Perhaps nothing. More than likely, if this is workers comp they have already expended at least 15k-30K for surgeon/physician fees, hospital, medicine, lab bills,time off work etc..

If for instance after your surgery you do not have any type of impairment to your hands (which typically happens more in non-work comp cases) you would usually not be entitled to any additional money because like I said you have received thousands of dollars of free care already.

On the other hand, pun intended, if your ortho hand surgeon gives you an impairment rating..it will be given to the hand and then to the upper extremities and then to the body as a whole. So it is impossible to tell you how much you should ask for, because if your surgery went great and you have no residual symptoms you may be entitled to very little vs if you had severe CTS and permnanent damage and a large impairment can be proven you may be entitled to more. Remember lawyers will get about 25-30% off the top if they are involved.

Contact your state - but if you're exempt from having to have insurance that doesn't mean you should forgo coverage. Even if you have health insurance, who will pay for that if you're seriously injured & can't work? Comp offers lifetime medical benefits due to a work related injury. Maybe you sometimes use subcontractors too, and your state may be one that says you have to provide coverage for your subs who don't have it - talk with your insurance agent first, and if you opt to take the exemption, do so legally. Also, some of your clients may require you to carry this coverage even if the state says you're exempt - you may be able to get higher pay from the General Contractor because you provide your own insurance.

You have to check your disability policy.

If you have a private short term disability policy, there will be language specifying when benefits are paid if you were not working prior to the disabling event.

Filing a claim is the best way to find out. All they can do is deny the claim. If the benefit is paid, you made a tidy sum for a few hours of paperwork.

It varies from state to state. You will need to check with YOUR state industrial commission.

What is the average workmans comp settlement for traumatic fractured knee cap

Yes it can happen that from 50% to 85% of your SSB can become taxable income on your 1040 income tax return.

Yes, this is not only possible, but many (who work on keyboards, and other manual tasks) have obtained workman's comp for this.

(a case involving an employee who was injured on the job)

If there really were no complaints the employee can probably file for wrongful termination.

HOWEVER, there's a good chance that the employee is just unaware of the complaints. The customers probably went over his head, straight to the manager.

A normal leaf is assigned some specific functions i.e. Photosynthesis and transpiration. When a leaf is performing some functions other than these two then it needs to have some structural changes in itself. The leaves which are performing these additional functions having changed their looks are called as modified leaves.

The answer depends on who you are trying to get coverage for as most states only cover dental procedures for children under their public programs. If you are looking for coverage for an adult, then private is the most consistent option state to state. Go to the site INeedDentalBenefits.com and use the "Dental Plan Directory" of the National Association of Dental Plans to look up the companies offering coverage in your state. If you want an individual policy, put that in your search to bring back just those companies that have an individual product.

A person should be drug tested at the hospital or doctors office if they are being treated for a Workman's comp case. The time limit is usually within 48 hours.

They might. If they have reason to believe you have filed a number of similar claims they may investigate you for fraud, and may investigate at random. If you have a legitimate claim, don't let this concern keep you from filing it.
