Workers’ compensation laws exist to protect injured workers, ensuring they receive necessary medical care and financial support.

What Is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance that provides benefits to employees injured on the job.  

Coverage typically includes:

• Medical Treatment: Hospital visits, surgeries, therapy, and medications
• Lost Wages: Compensation for time away from work
• Rehabilitation Services: Physical therapy or vocational training
• Permanent Disability Benefits: For injuries resulting in long-term limitations

Workers’ compensation laws vary by state, and claims can become complex if the employer or insurance company disputes them.
