Compensation for Psychological Overlay
Psychological overlay is the term used for a mental condition related to a physical injury. For example, if someone suffers a neck injury and the pain caused by the injury itself and its related surgeries cause lack of sleep, the sleeping disorder is considered a psychological overlay. It is a compensable consequence of the work injury and, as such, is eligible for workers' comp.
Compensation for Psychological Conditions Caused By Harassment
Psychological injuries are not always caused by physical injuries. These conditions can also be brought on by sexual harassment, workplace discrimination or a hostile work environment. Victims of these conditions are entitled to workers' comp.
