Challenges of Remote Workers’ Compensation Claims

Noticing the beginning signs of carpal tunnel in your wrists from all the typing you do at your remote job?

Disappointed because you don’t think remote workers qualify for workers’ comp?

You will be pleasantly surprised to learn that this is not the case!

Traditionally, workers’ comp applies to workers injured in the physical workspace but, as the way we work has evolved, so has the nature of workers’ compensation.  

Here are some of the biggest challenges that come with remote workers’ comp cases:

Proof of Injury

While remote workers do qualify for workers’ comp, proving their cases can be much more difficult and require more evidence. Remote workers often face much more scrutiny in proving that their injury occurred during working hours.

Employer Pushback

Some employers may try and dispute claims, arguing that the injury wasn’t work-related, especially if it’s difficult to prove.
