not typically. If you were hurt on the job and reported the injury, then you will still be covered under workmans comp pending the comp injury is proven to be valid. Example: you slip and hurt your ankle at work. You report it to your manager, and go to the doctor. The doctor wants you in physical therapy for three weeks.  three days later you are fired for theft....you would still be covered under workmans comp for the duration of the injury. It is rare for someone to be terminated under workmans comp unless theft or some type of serious violation was at hand.

I don't think the company can decide to cut off your workers comp - that would be the state organization that runs it.  The company can provide evidence it was not a work related injury, and there can also be limits to the company's liability in your state, which may mean your benefits under it ran out.\n\nYour best bet is to contact the workers comp group for your state, and find out what your recourse is.  Some states have programs to assist employees in these situations.  If that fails, consult with a lawyer to see what your options are based on the documentation you have, any witness testimonies, etc.  Here's a link to Labor and Industry in Washinton - http://www.lni.wa.gov/\n\nYou can and should also report this to OSHA as an unsafe working condition.  It can be reported here - http://www.osha.gov/.  Their site seems to be down right now, but there is a link to report violations in the employee section.\n\nGood Luck.

not if you are voluntarily leaving a job.  you have had to be layed off only.

Depending on the way your accident happened to begin with and how it was reported all should be just fine. Workman's compensation is just that. It is not for punishment. You get hurt on the job, the job takes care of you. If you reported the accident correctly and all went well it should never be held against you. If it is and you know this, then you can file charges yourself.

worker's comp is primary.  they would handle all of the injury portion of your claim.  and, the worker's comp is the company insurance.  now, if they terminate you because of your injury and you believe it was done without merit, then you could file suit and then their liability insurance would probably pick that up.

He could end up with some serious legal consequences for violating a contracted agreement. At the very least he could be terminated with cause and expect to receive no unemployment benefits depending on the details of the situation and the companies Human Resource policies.

Yes, however, it can come back to bite you in the butt. The Bureau of Unemployment services will grant the employee unemployment benefits even if you try to stop it. Your employee has medical documentation to back him/her up. And, if your company has a union, the employee can file a grievance, and eventually get his/her job back, most of the time with full pay for the time he/she was out of a job.

it's called at-will employment.  they're free to fire you for almost any reason, just like you're able to leave freely for any reason you wish

If you are in the US, if your employer doesn't carry workers comp for you, they are STILL required to pay for your medical bills and lost wages.  Also, you can file a complaint with OSHA or your state department of labor, if they don't pay - there are hefty fines for employers who dont' carry workers comp, AND you can sue them, AND the DOL can issue a "cease operations" order until they have coverage in place.

You are protected because it's insurance paid for by your employer.  However, you have to be careful that the injury that you have sustained in the first job is not aggravated, worsened, or deemed to be a non injury on the second job.  That could affect your claim.  You should consult an attorney in your state.  Each state has its own Workers Compensation agency and rules.  Attorneys usually don't charge a fee and they are paid a small percentage of your compensation.

Workers Comp is paid by your employer.  The income is usually taxable.

Most times you have to file out a form about your accident.  It usually has to happen at the time of the accident.  But there might be a 1-2 day delay time.  Also, you usually have to go to the doctor right then.  One your employer tells you to go to .

not only can you collect workmans comp, your employer could get into a lot of trouble for knowingly letting you work without the doctors approval!!!!!

Your state may have a workers' compensation commission - call them.  Ordinarily a claim for compensation is filed with them first.  You should be able to find an attorney that works on a contingency fee (no fee unless you win).\n\nIf you're an employer, contact your workers' comp. insurance carrier.

if you got injured during work-time at your workplace, or any place doing your job for your employer, (in Ontario, Canada), you should inform your employer.  If its very minor like a paper-cut or scratch or something, you can use the first-aid kit for disinfectant and bandage, but if its anything that you see a medical professional (Dr, etc) about, then your employer is required by law, to report Worker's Compensation.  You will be paid for time off for emergency or for a Doctor, if its required, and your employer will be required to modify your job or your facilities(like providing special chair or whatever) while you heal,  If you 're  unable to do your job, your employer is required to provide alternative work, IF they can.  IF they cannot, then Worker's Comp. Insurance will pay until you get some job you can do somewhere else.  There is a time limit for your employer to report it, I think 2 or 3 days, depending on your Province or State.  If s/he doesn't report it, there can be hefty fines.  (employers trying to hide such things are considered virtual criminals).  In this case, your employer may still be safe, because you didn't tell him, s/he didn't know,  so workers comp will just frown.  \n\nThere could be negative consequences to the employer if they know about a "serious" injury and do not report it.\nThere are no negative consequences to reporting an injury.  Employers may not punish you for it.\n\nRule of thumb for the future, any injury or illness from your workplace "serious" enough ----  that is,  IF you go see a doctor or medical pro about it, then you have to tell your boss and they need to report it to Workers Compensation.
