What is a No-Fault Insurance System?

Although it might not be explained to you at the time you start a new job and get workers’ compensation coverage, workers’ comp is actually a no-fault insurance system. When considering the validity of a workers’ comp claim, the insurance company does not normally consider fault or liability for workplace accidents and injuries. Whether the employer or employee or even a third party causes the accident is largely irrelevant. The no-fault system for workers’ compensation is a huge benefit to workers because it removes the stress of having to prove that someone else caused their injury. Workers can even get benefits if they admit that they made a mistake that ultimately led to the accident.

Workers’ comp benefits should be provided if:

• Your injury happened in the scope of your employment; and,
• You are covered by a workers’ compensation insurance policy.

In Kentucky, nearly all employees must be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Some workers in the agricultural industry are not covered, though, and neither are most independent contractors.
