Part 14 - PARTICIPATING ENTITY WORKERS' COMPENSATION POLICY STATEMENT
Section 6.50.14.12 - WORKERS' COMPENSATION IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
In any case where an insured under the authority's workers' compensation program is eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits for an injury, the exclusive remedy for such injury is workers' compensation benefits. Such injured insured shall have no claim for additional benefits under either the authority benefits or risk programs, including but not limited to underinsured, uninsured and unknown motorist coverages. Provided, however, this does not prohibit an insured from claiming benefits (in addition to workers' compensation) if provided under a short or long-term disability policy, life insurance policy or medical benefits policy (so long as an insured is limited to one recovery for medical expenses).
