In a recent decision, Parker v. Webster County Coal, the Kentucky Supreme Court struck down limits in Kentucky workers compensation law on the benefits that older, injured workers could receive. Previously the law had limited the benefits that older workers could receive to two years or when they became eligible to receive "old-age Social Security benefits," whichever came later. Now older workers can receive the same benefits as all other injured workers in Kentucky.
