The Subsequent Injury Fund insures injured workers whose pre-existing health condition, when combined with the injury, increases their disability and hinders their ability to work. Workers' Compensation claims cover damages caused by an accidental workplace injury, while the Fund assumes liability for the combined effects of all injuries and conditions. The Fund is financed through assessments paid by workers' compensation employers and insurers. The Subsequent Injury Fund Board supervises the Fund.
