Kentucky Workers Compensation Injuries and Deaths

Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

Nationwide, there are approximately 2.5 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses annually according to U.S. Department of Labor’s recent publication. Correspondingly, our Commonwealth reported 45,600 nonfatal Kentucky workers compensation injuries in the workplace.

These injuries are very costly to Kentucky workers in terms of aggravation, pain, disability, lost wages, and mental anguish. Work injury disrupts you and your family. Even a short loss of income from being off work can create serious financial distress for most Kentucky families.

Employers and their worker’s compensation insurance companies try every step of the way to limit their responsibility for your medical bills, total temporary disability wages (TTD), and permanent partial impairment compensation. Our Kentucky workers compensation lawyer is here to hold employers and their workers comp insurance companies accountable to you and your family.

Work-Related Deaths

American families grieved over 5,000 work-related deaths in 2024 alone per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ recent publication. Likewise, Kentucky families suffered the loss of 70 loved ones to work deaths that same year according to federal labor statistics.

Employers and their insurance companies sometimes try to minimize their financial responsibility by denying payment of death benefits available under the Kentucky workers compensation statutes. Our attorneys are here to protect your family’s interests so that you can get the benefits you need and deserve.
