Helping sister

[dn4192]

I got an update from my dad last night. What happened was that my sister was on her way to work, and as she was entering the retail stores enterance and after stepping off a rug they had put down, she slipped on some melted snow that was on the tile floor. She fell and broke her ankle in 3 spots. Now even though she was on her way to work, at her job site, she had not clocked in yet, will that impact how WC is done? To the stores credit, or fear of being sued, they so far have been very cooperative. They sent their HR person out to pick up my dad and brought him to the hospital and later to get my sisters car. They have already given him some paper work for my sister to fill out.

good read.
first week is paid after being disabled 3 weeks.
medical care includes hospital and as outlined in chapter 7. generally there is a fee schedule involved but the worker is not responsible for the difference.

work comp laws/rules are extensive and complex so it's difficult to give a comprehensive answer.
