Kentucky Workers' Compensation
Under Kentucky's unique and comprehensive workers' compensation law, workers are covered for injuries that occurred in Kentucky or for Kentucky employers in another state. Employees in Kentucky have the right to choose their regular physician — not the doctor that your employer and its insurance company send you.
Benefits Available Under Kentucky Law
- Medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Rehabilitation and retraining
- Lost wages related to the injury and retraining
- Death and burial benefits
Wage Benefits
During the period of off work as advised by your physician, employees may be eligible to claim a portion of their wages to be paid immediately. Plus, they can receive final compensation for any permanent impairment they have suffered, ensuring their financial stability.
Third-Party Claims
If your injury results from the negligence of someone other than your employer, you may also have a right to pursue a third-party claim for additional damages and remedies, offering a potential avenue for further compensation.
