Kansas Workers Compensation Laws

Just like the occupational injury laws of other states, the Kansas workers compensation laws also provides protection to those workers who suffer from injuries and illnesses at the workplace. As per the provisions explained in the state laws, such workers are entitled to monetary compensation and adequate access to medical care. The laws also make it clear that the place of accident does not make any difference. It means even if the accident takes place outside the workplace, as long as it occurs during the course of business (while the employee was performing a task as part of his or her job profile), the employer is obligated to pay compensation benefits.
