This year marks the Centennial of the Kentucky workers’ compensation system! For exactly 100 years, Kentucky workers have depended on workers’ compensation benefits when they are injured at work. These benefits often result in a significant cut in a worker’s take-home pay. This is the third in a series of reports written by Peter Rousmaniere for WorkCompCentral investigating the effects of workers’ compensation on injured workers and their households in various states. The first report, “Meet Tim: The Uncompensated Worker,” is available online at www.workcompcentral.com
