To reaffirm and enhance the workers compensation exclusive remedy rule or doctrine

HB 2784 amends West Virginia's workers' compensation laws to clarify that employers maintaining proper coverage are generally exempt from lawsuits for employee injuries. It specifies employees cannot recover under workers' comp for self-inflicted injuries or injuries caused by their own intoxication, while requiring employers to have reasonable suspicion before testing for intoxication. The bill adds that employees may recover if an injury resulted from an employer's "deliberate intention" to cause harm. It repeals an outdated section (§23-2-6a) related to exemptions for employer officers and managers. This bill directly affects employees and employers in West Virginia's workers' compensation system.
