- KDDK represents employers in workers compensation
actions brought against them by employees and medical
providers in actions to recover for services provided
in work-related injuries. Our attorneys regularly represent
our clients' interests at single board member hearings,
in appeals before the full Workers Compensation Board,
and when necessary, appeals to the Indiana Court of Appeals.
Indiana's workers compensation system
is a "no fault" liability system, under which an employer
is held liable for injuries suffered by its employees
which arise out of and in the course of employment, subject
to very limited defenses. When an employee is injured
on the job, his or her employer may be held liable for
the employee's medical expenses, a percentage of lost
wages during any period of disability, and any permanent
disability arising from the work-place injury. As such,
we believe the keys to effectively defending workers compensation
claims are: (1) prevention; (2) a well-established procedure
for early reporting and investigation of work-related
injuries; and (3) prompt and effective medical treatment
geared towards returning the injured employee to the workforce
as quickly as possible.

and employment sections.
