When to Contact a Workers’ Compensation Attorney

In order to minimize financial exposure, uninsured employers should consult with an attorney immediately upon learning of a claim against them.  Employers who violate the Arizona Workers’ Compensation Act by failing to have workers’ compensation insurance can face fines and/or imprisonment.  Under A.R.S. §23-932, failing to maintain workers’ compensation insurance is a Class 6 felony.  In addition to criminal liability, an uninsured employer may be assessed a civil penalty of $1,000.00 for failure to obtain workers’ compensation insurance, whether or not an employee files a workers’ compensation claim.   The penalties increase with each additional offense.  Since the State must pay the claims for uninsured employers through the Special Fund, the Fund will seek reimbursement from the uninsured employer for any benefits paid to the injured worker plus a penalty of 10% of the benefits paid or $1,000.00, whichever is greater.  Call our office today for a FREE consultation and let us help fight your case and protect your assets.  (602- 277-2007).
