What is Workers Compensation?
Workers Compensation is an insurance plan to help injured employees from illness and injury on the job. When you have been injured or become sick because of your employer, your workplace or your actual job, worker’s compensation is designed to pay for your medical expenses and ensure that you continue to receive your paycheck, even if you can’t perform your actual job because of your injuries. Benefits can include recovery of lost wages, medical expenses, job retraining if needed and even permanent disability if warranted.
While this program is designed to help injured employees, applying for benefits can be complex. Employers do not always accept responsibility for their worker’s injuries. If you’ve been injured, a Worker’s Compensation attorney can help. They’ll ensure you get all of the benefits you deserve from the program.
