A workplace injury can affect every aspect of your life. Medical treatment, lost income, uncertainty about returning to work, and concerns about supporting your family often begin long before a workers’ compensation claim is resolved.
For more than four decades, Ched Jennings has dedicated his career to protecting the rights of Kentucky workers. His experience extends beyond representing injured workers. He has served as Commissioner of Kentucky’s Department of Workers’ Claims and has worked at the forefront of efforts to protect the rights and benefits available under Kentucky workers’ compensation law.
Whether you have been injured in a workplace accident, developed a repetitive stress injury, suffer from an occupational disease, belong to a labor union, or can no longer work because of a disabling medical condition, Jennings Law Offices can help you understand your rights and the options available to you.
Many injured workers are told they must see a doctor selected by their employer or insurance company. Kentucky law provides important protections regarding medical treatment and physician selection. Understanding these rights early can make a significant difference in your recovery and claim.
You must notify your employer as soon as possible after a workplace injury or when you become aware that a repetitive stress injury or occupational condition may be work-related.
Kentucky workers’ compensation claims are subject to important deadlines. Missing a filing deadline can jeopardize valuable benefits. Taking action early helps preserve your rights and allows important evidence and medical documentation to be gathered while it is still available.
