You might be unsure about how to continue with your workers' compensation claim if you were hurt at work but your employer is in a different state than the accident. It can be difficult to navigate the complications of a workplace accident, particularly when it includes many jurisdictions.
When an employee sustains an injury in a state other than the one where their company is based, it may not be evident which state will handle the workers' compensation claim. The regulations pertaining to workers' compensation differ greatly from state to state, so it's critical to ascertain which one will apply to your situation. Also, jurisdiction may be determined in part by the place of the accident, the place of employment, and the employer's headquarters.
It might be quite beneficial to speak with a knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorney if you find yourself in this predicament.
