Foreign Voluntary Worker's Compensation (FVWC) is a type of insurance coverage that offers more benefits to the standard domestic worker's compensation policies.
Many state workers' compensation won't cover injuries that occur internationally. Injuries like illness, contraction of diseases, or other bodily harm caused by war, terrorism, or even piracy are often not covered by normal worker's comp.
FVWC, however, often offers the following:
· Endemic disease coverage
· 24-hour coverage (instead of the standard working hours)
· Repatriation expense
FVWC policies differ from one insurance company to the next and it is advisable to check with each insurance company.
If an employee is hurt overseas and his/her employer does not have FVWC, then the employer could be liable for a lawsuit.
