As companies ramp up their workforce to support activities related to wind farm construction and maintenance both on- and offshore, it's critical to understand the various workers' compensation laws that impact this sector. Offshore wind farms, in particular, have unique jurisdictional issues. As we enter an exciting new frontier of clean energy, employers and insurance brokers alike must take a closer look at old laws that will be interpreted to meet new circumstances.
