Workers Compensation Laws

The guide Facts About Maine’s Workers’ Compensation Laws is now available for local business owners and employees.

The Workers’ Compensation Board publication assists people in understanding Maine’s workers’ compensation system by answering questions frequently asked by injured workers. Also included in the publication is a glossary of terms commonly used in workers’ compensation proceedings as well as a summary of steps that need to be taken if an injury does occur, provided insurance benefits and the role of an advocate.

Most of the information included applies only to employees who were injured on or after January 1, 1993; however, there is some data about earlier dates of injury.

Residents may call Representative Joe Bruno for more information at (207) 655-7443.
