Arkansas State Workers’ Compensation Laws

Following a workplace injury, it is normal to face the significant, intimidating financial challenges of medical costs and lost income. But the compassionate team at Morgan and Morgan understands that victims have enough to worry about. That is why our firm provides free legal consultations and works on a contingency fee basis.  

This way, our clients don’t have to pay anything unless we recover money for them. When you hire our firm, we agree to represent you for a portion of the recovery in your case. 

You will not pay a single penny unless we successfully settle or win your case at trial. The good news is that our accomplished team has recovered more than $25 billion for our clients since our firm's founding.

Not every business in the state of Arkansas is required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. For example, those businesses with fewer than three employees are exempt. 

Some specialized types of workers are also not legally required to be covered by this type of insurance policy. Some examples of exempt workers in Arkansas include: 

• Maritime and railroad workers
• Domestic help
• Employees at non-profit organizations
• Agricultural workers and farm laborers
• Workers at charitable, religious, and relief organizations 

It’s important to remember that some workers are not legally categorized as “employees,” which can result in workers’ compensation coverage exemptions for their employers. For instance, independent contractors are not entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. As such, businesses must categorize their workers appropriately. 

If you believe that your employer has categorized you inappropriately in hopes of decreasing costs, do not wait. The attorneys at Morgan & Morgan have years of experience holding unscrupulous businesses accountable for the harm they cause.
