§ 3719 Uninsured Employers Fund Compromise

Key Takeaways

•If someone sues a boss who didn’t have workers’ comp insurance, the state can step in and decide what happens.
•The state can either settle the case (make a deal) or take it all the way to a final court decision.
•The state’s goal is to do what’s best for the Uninsured Employers Fund, which helps workers when their boss didn’t have insurance.

Example

A worker gets hurt on the job, but their boss never bought workers’ comp insurance. The worker sues the boss.

The state can decide to either make a deal with the boss to pay the worker or take the case to court to get the money. The state will choose whatever is best for the fund that helps workers in these situations.

Any suit, action, proceeding, or award brought or made against any employer under Section 3717 may be compromised by the director, or such suit, action, or proceeding may be prosecuted to final judgment as in the discretion of the director may best subserve the interests of the Uninsured Employers Fund. (Amended by Stats. 1980, Ch. 852.)
