how long must you be off following a Injury before you get a check?

Under KY WC law, the first 7 days of disability are not paid until an injured worker is off for 14 days.  Thus, if the injured worker misses 13 days, then only days 8-13 are paid.  However, once that 14 day threshold is reached, then all 14 days get paid. Under KY WC law, insurance companies are required to act in good faith to timely process and pay claims.  The term "good faith" is somewhat vague and allows insurance companies a fair amount of wiggle room.
