According to the Wichita Business Journal the new laws will;
- Require additional proof that an injury was suffered at work,
- Limit the payout to workers who don’t make a good-faith effort to return to work, and
- Raise the caps on settlements.
One focus on the bill is to try and eliminate people getting compensated for long term affects of such problems as corporate tunnel syndrome. Many companies have a company doctor who will do anything to keep a worker on the job no matter how bad they are injured. This bill may make it harder for those who get a second opinion from a different doctor.
There is no doubt these new laws will make it easier on businesses. It will save them buckets of money. But it will leave working people with a very limited safety net if they are injured and unable to work. They may even make it harder of an injured worker to get unemployment if they are injured and can’t work before a layoff. They won’t be eligible for unemployment. If they can’t get workers comp. they will have no income at all.
This is the new age brought to us by the new Kansas Republicans.

Compensation Law Firms provide services such as advising clients on
criminal law issues, representing individuals in the court of law and
handling individual cases where a person intends to sue another party under
a compensation charge.
