Understanding Workers Compensation Claim Exemptions

This course aims to provide a better understanding of how potential claims can be exempt from workers compensation. Many work-related injury claims are categorically ineligible for benefits under the workers compensation system. However, there is a difference between a claim that is exempt from workers compensation and a claim where a defense is applicable. This topic will help those responsible for assessing work-related injury claims to identify a claim that is potentially categorically exempt from the workers compensation system and how to explore the relevant facts. Each state has its own unique workers compensation system and statutory provisions, but there are common concepts that will be discussed. Specific examples by state will be covered so an interested party can be alerted to the most common red flags.
