When ever they want usally while your still in the hospital from my experience
yes
Workman's comp pays for injuries you received at work. Getting hurt at work while on drugs will not pay for drug rehab ... but will get you terminated.
Yes, a workman's comp claim can be denied if you don't pass the drug test. If you were on drugs, it might be your fault that you were injured or hurt.
Most of the time, yes, they do.
no you will not be covered because you were under the influence and your judgment was clouded...sorry
I would assume so as you are still their employee.
A person should be drug tested at the hospital or doctors office if they are being treated for a Workman's comp case. The time limit is usually within 48 hours.
In most cases, if you are being paid by a state fund that businesses pay into, (workman's comp), you can forfeit your benefits and rights to future benefits regarding that claim because of unauthorized and/or illegal drug use.
does workers comp require a drug screening upon injury
Yes
Absolutely. The employer is still paying you, even if it's through workman's comp. Technically, you still work for him and are bound to the company's policies. Yes. My Mom cut her finger really bad at work and had to get stitches. Then 2 days later a random drug test came along and my Mom had to take it. She passed of course. But we just thought that it was funny. If you don't take the test they will think that you hurt yourself due to a drug and it not being work related.
In 2002 the Ohio supreme court ruled that drug testing a injured worker was unconstitutional.
