W. Va. WCC Files Injunctions Against Pair of Employers

West Virginia’s Workers’ Compensation Commission recently filed injunctions against two state employers whose accounts with the Commission are reportedly in default.

The injunctions were filed in Kanawha County Circuit Court against:

* William E. Trail, d.b.a. Trail’s Chevron, a Jefferson County full-service gas station, that owes back premiums, interest and penalties totaling $11,345.96; and,

* Diversified Contractors, Inc., a Kanawha County building construction business, that owes back premiums, interest and penalties totaling $22,425.27.

Workers’ Compensation Commission Executive Director Gregory Burton said the Commission will continue initiating litigation involving delinquent businesses throughout the state to help assure everyone pays their fair share.

The injunctions call for the firms to cease business.
