LOCAL REPRESENTATION FOR OUT-OF-STATE EMPLOYERS
When a foreign company has employees in another state, it must adhere to the workers’ compensation laws of that state.

Moreover, our attorneys can litigate workers’ compensation cases on behalf of out-of-state employers while coordinating with them and their regular counsel.
COUNSEL FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES WITH OUT-OF-STATE EMPLOYEES
When expanding your operation to another state, it is important to have local lawyers who know your business and can apprise you of any new obligations you may be incurring. With workers’ compensation issues involving noncompliance, which can expose you to both criminal and civil liability, this is especially true.
Our attorneys advise businesses in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky regarding their workers’ compensation obligations in other jurisdictions where they are considering hiring a workforce.
