Jail Time And Court-Compelled Fines
Uninsured employers may face criminal charges and civil penalties if an employee files a workers’ compensation benefits claim and there is no insurance to cover the claim. These penalties could include incarceration in a county jail for up to a year and fines not in excess of 100,000 dollars. The fines are calculated based not only on the employee who filed the claim but also the number of total employees on the payroll at the time the claim was filed, and the fines could range from 2,000 to 10,000 dollars per employee, depending on the decision made by the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.
Employee Lawsuits In Pursuit Of Damages
The fines and criminal penalties are not the only legal action that an uninsured employer may have to contend with. If an employee files a lawsuit in pursuit of damages (such as suffering, lost wages, etc.), an employer could find themselves facing even more financial hardship as the amount of money they have to pay to the employee increases. It is difficult to calculate how high these dollar amounts could reach, as the amount of damages the court compels an employer to pay to an employee in a civil suit depends on the extent of injuries and other factors.
