Smithfield Virginia Officer Wants Workers' Compensation Law Changed
Posted on Jan 13, 2010
A workers' compensation law that restricts the time workers have to file claims for certain illnesses contracted in the line of duty is under fire by a Virginia officer looking to change the law.
Health problems can be intensified with red tape, created by a state law that requires workers' compensation claims to be filed within five years of the worker's exposure to the disease. It is very hard to change workers' compensation laws because they result in higher coverage which creates higher costs.
