The Kentucky Workers' Compensation Act provides benefits to employees who have been injured in job-related accidents or who have contracted diseases due to workplace exposure. Many benefit claims are resolved with compromise settlements. If a compromise cannot be reached, an injured worker has a right to seek justice through the courts.
The Kentucky Workers' Compensation Act provides medical and income benefits, and less often vocational retraining, to people who have suffered work-related injuries and certain occupational diseases. An employer has to pay medical expenses that are "reasonable and necessary" for the "cure and relief" of "work-related" injuries. Income benefits generally fall into the basic categories — "temporary total disability," "permanent partial disability" and permanent total disability." Any injury you suffer due to your job should be reported to your employer, so they can open a workers' compensation claim.

The Kentucky Workers’ Compensation Act provides benefits to employees injured in work-related accidents and to those who contract or develop certain types of diseases due to workplace exposure. Injured workers are eligible for money to replace part of their lost wages and money to cover medical bills, rehabilitation and other aspects of their recovery.
Under Kentucky law, workers’ compensation is considered the “exclusive remedy” for injured workers. This means that in exchange for the protection that workers’ compensation coverage provides, employees surrender their right to sue employers in civil court for damages arising from workplace injuries. This is why it is crucial that you get every benefit to which you are entitled under workers’ comp.
