What are the penalties for an employers failure to provide workers compensation insurance coverage?
Any one or more of the following penalties may be applied: • a civil fine not to exceed $1,000.00 for each violation. Each day of continued failure to secure coverage constitutes a separate violation. • imprisonment for not more than one year, a $1,000.00 fine, or both. • enjoinder from doing business in Nebraska until compliance is secured. Also, an injured employee may sue the employer for damages in district court, and the employer will lose its common law defenses.
