Your workers' compensation benefits may be reduced in two circumstances:
At Spooner & Perkins, P.C., our attorneys have a complete understanding of workers' compensation law and many years of experience offering workers legal representation. If you believe your workers' compensation benefits were reduced unfairly by the insurance company, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
If you violate a company safety policy and you are injured as a result, your workers' compensation benefits may be reduced by 25 to 50 percent depending on the severity of the violation.
For example, if your company requires you to wear protective eyewear and you fail to do so, your benefits will be reduced if your failure to wear protective eyewear would have prevented the injury to your eye. Both your temporary total disability and permanent partial disability settlement can be reduced by anywhere from 25 to 50 percent.
If you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol in the workplace at the time of your injury, your benefit for lost wages and permanent partial disability may be reduced by up to 50 percent. For example:
