W. Va. WCC Files Suit Against Pair of Employers

August 17, 2005

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

Injunctions were filed in Kanawha County Circuit Court against the following:

• Huffman and Associates Inc., a Kanawha County building construction business, owes back premiums, interest and penalties totaling $18, 288.91; and
• Falcon Construction and Paving Inc., a Mineral County street and road construction business, owes back premiums, interest and penalties totaling $60,884.01.

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.
