A workers’ compensation claim in Kentucky has to be filed within two years of the date of an accident. Otherwise, the injured employee will not be able to recover anything. In the case of an occupational disease or illness, the period in which to file a claim is two years from the date last exposed or two years after that person has been diagnosed with the disease or the illness.
Filing a workers’ compensation claim within two years does not mean that your claim will be resolved within two years. Ultimately, the sooner you begin working with an attorney on your claim, the better. Learn more at https://www.kentuckycourage.com/workers-compensation-attorneys/ today.
