DOL OWCP denied my claim after the doctor diagnosised it as carpal tunnel syndrome DOL stated that the injury could not have caused carpal tunnel syndrome is there any recourse?

You have not given enough information. Carpal tunnel is an occupational disease. I think that is what it is called. It is caused from repetitive motion. It is not caused from one specific injury. If you had a specific injury it could not have caused the carpel tunnel. However, you may still have an OWCP claim for the carpel tunnel if you return to your doctor and ask them what caused the carpel tunnel . If there is a repetitive component to your job,i.e keying mail? Keyboard? this may be the cause of carpel tunnel, then it is indeed a claim for OWCP. You did not say what the injury was or what the results were but the carpel tunnel was just something the doctor happened to find when he examined you after the accident . You have had it all along , not just because of the accident.

Can workmans comp insurance be purchased on a daily basis for a starting business in Illinois?

I don't know of any, but if you're in the entertainment business (pyrotech, sound tech, musician, promoter, manager, lighting tech, DJ, etc.) there's a Comp alternative called VOCAL. It's Occupational Accident and Contingent Liability and is available on a short term, as needed basis for events. See weblink below.

Do you have to have workman's comp in Louisiana?

Answer construction in LouisianaIn order to aquire contracting or home-improvement license you must have workmans comp. AnswerAll 50 states require Workers Compensation but most if not all allow for some exemptions. However, exemptions, due to number or type of employees, for example, are from carrying insurance, NOT from liability. So before you forgo coverage, make sure you have fulfilled your state reporting requirements and can write a big check! In Texas alone, an alternative to Comp known as Non-Subscription is available, and in 47 states VOCAL is available as a short term alternative to Comp for volunteers and self employed workers in the entertainment and hospitality industries (conventions, parades, concerts, wedding receptions, football concessions, etc.)

You must carry the burdon of proof, of course, proof that the condition was actually caused by the activity and not something other than that.

Do you still get worker comp if you get fired?

no if you are terminated thru a fault of your own especially if they had

wittnesses , for instance you challenged your boss to go outside like

idid i regrett it now it cost me 5 monts being without a job iwas their

for four years too yes i got written up he really push me to the edge

at the time i thought it was a good idea man to man but i learned from

this experience it was a very costly one in pennssyvaina no you can;t

YES> I can't speak for his experience, but in FLA at least, WC lasts your lifetime, unless you settle. (and NEVER settle!) While being on WC almost makes you bulletproof from getting terminated (until they get enough paperwork to cover their own behinds), being fired doesn't mean you lose benefits. They are still required to pay for treatment, medication, and travel. The only reason I'm aware of that you'd lose benefits in relation to a job termination is if it was found you were at fault for the accident. The same rule applies for Unemployment Compensation. It is a huge crap sandwich, but it is possible to get fired for getting injured on the job, and wind up on unemployment. I don't recommend it.
