The Tennessee Advisory Council on Workers’ Compensation has unanimously decided not to recommend a bill that would allow employers to opt out of the state’s workers compensation system.

A Kentucky man’s settlement of his workers compensation claim prior to his death doesn’t bar his wife from seeking death benefits, the state Court of Appeals has ruled.

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire last week overruled a decision by the state’s Compensation Appeals Board to deny benefits to a driver who was injured after he fell asleep behind the wheel of a company truck and struck a utility pole.
