Kentucky Workers’ Compensation Attorney
Injured at Work?
Know Your Rights.
We help Kentucky workers’ compensation clients get the benefits they’re entitled to. A work injury can change your life in an instant and leave you with no income to provide for your family. Workers’ compensation should cover your medical treatment and lost income while you recover — but too often, the system fails injured workers.

What does a Kentucky workers’ compensation attorney do?
We help injured workers pursue the benefits they’re entitled to—especially when the process gets confusing, your employer won’t cooperate, or the insurance company fights the claim.
What benefits is workers’ comp supposed to cover?
Workers’ compensation is intended to provide medical care and monetary benefits when a work-related injury or occupational disease keeps you from working.
What should I do right after I get hurt at work in Kentucky?
Get medical help if needed and report the injury to your employer as soon as possible—delays can seriously harm your claim.
How do I report a work injury in Kentucky?
Kentucky guidance says to report your injury/occupational disease to your employer as soon as possible so it can be filed with the workers’ comp insurance carrier.
What if my employer refuses to file the claim?
This is one of the common problems we step in to help with—filing the initial claim when an employer refuses or drags their feet.
After I report it, what is my employer required to do?
Kentucky’s Education & Labor Cabinet notes your employer must report the injury/disease to its workers’ comp insurance carrier within three days of receiving notification from you.
What if the insurance company denies my workers’ comp claim?
We help fight denied claims and push for the wage-loss and medical benefits you’re owed.
Can I still get workers’ comp if the system is “failing” me (delays, no income coming in, confusion)?
Yes—this is exactly why many people hire counsel. Workers’ comp should cover treatment and lost income while you recover, but the process can break down; we guide you through it and advocate for you.
