Legal Resources
Are there any restrictions or limitations involved with workers' compensation claims?
A: Yes, and they vary from state to state. Some limitations are based upon whether an employee is full or part-time. Other limitations are specific to certain types of work. Almost every state has a statute of limitations regarding personal injury or worker’s compensation claims, and the only way to know for sure what restrictions or limitations are involved is to consult an attorney who has experience in dealing with such claims.
