What types of injures are not covered by workers' compensation?

Posted on Monday, June 7th, 2010 at 7:00 am    

While workers’ compensation is meant to provide coverage for employees injured on the job, it does not cover all work-related injuries. A number of injuries not covered by workers’ compensation involve getting injured while being reckless or careless on the job.

For instance, if employees injure themselves intentionally, they may not be able to collect workers’ compensation benefits. Similarly, if employees are injured on the job as a result of intoxication or illegal drug use, they may be unable to make a workers’ compensation claim.

If you or anyone you know has questions about workers’ compensation, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 888-389-COMP.
