Bills address workers comp issues
- Proposed legislative measures in Mississippi and New York are designed to address issues with workers’ compensation and could potentially pave the way for more lawsuits by injured workers.
- The Mississippi bill, S.B. 2863 would allow injured workers or surviving family members to sue employers under certain circumstances.
- In New York, Senate Bill 1488, which was introduced on January 19, 2023, would prevent businesses from retaliating against workers who file claims for work-related injuries.
- Both of these measures could have national implications if other states follow suit.
