Second injury funds were created to encourage businesses to hire workers who are physically handicapped by congenital defects or the residual effect of an accident or illness but due to other laws that now protect the physically handicapped worker , such the Americans With Disability Acts, some states are disbanding their fund.
Second injury funds receives money from insurance companies ,as well as employers and from legislative appropriation. Insurance company payment may be based on percentage of total compensation paid , premiums collected or the nature and state of the specific injury.
The second injury funds may be administered by the states workers compensation commission, industrial board or department of labour. It is the entitlement of every state worker to receive this second injury fund.
