The Workers Comp Bill
Medical fee disputes in workers' comp get two-year deadline
Reduces statute of limitations from six years to two years in medical fee disputes in workers' compensation matters.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, injured workers would have only two years to file a claim for unpaid medical fees instead of six, cutting their chance to get paid.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens should oppose this bill because it narrows the window for workers to recover medical costs, favoring employers and insurers while leaving injured people with less protection.
