How to Determine If a Work at Home Injury is a Compensable Injury

How to Determine If a Work at Home Injury is a Compensable Injury
When the Covid-19 pandemic initially created the need for a drastic increase in the number of telecommuting workers, the repercussions to workplace culture were difficult to imagine. One issue that most didn’t consider was the drastic increase in work-from-home workplace injuries.

The Remote Workforce & Compensable Workplace Injuries

Initially, it appeared that the mass removal of America’s workforce to work from home positions would result in a decrease of workers’ comp claims. With fewer people in the workplace, it seemed like a logical evolution. However, as American workers settle in at home, the number of workplace injury claims from remote workers is actually increasing. But many wonder when an employee’s injury is compensable when they are working remotely. Generally speaking, an employee’s injury is compensable under workers’ compensation if it occurs in the course of or arises due to the individual’s employment. The location where the injury occurs isn’t technically a factor.
FAQs
I'm getting a weekly check and it is late. What do I do?
If you are drawing TTD or PPD, your checks are likely to be late. These can be delayed in the mail or may likely be delayed by the insurance office. Please wait three (3) business days before contacting this office with regard to a late check in order to give it time to get to our office or you. After this three (3) day period, contact this office and we will check into it.

A delayed check may also be an attempt by the insurance company to get you to settle your case. By causing financial hardship, they sometimes may entice you to settle your case for less than it is worth. This is commonly called “starving out” the Claimant.
