What is workers’ compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides coverage to employees that have suffered injuries or illnesses through work-related activities. An employee with a work-related injury or illness can receive workers’ comp benefits regardless of fault. Workers’ compensation covers hospital and medical expenses that are necessary for treatment. They also provide disability payments during the time you are unable to work. Workers compensation can be received for injuries that are received over a long period, not just immediate accidents. This can include repetitive stress injuries or chronic problems, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or knee stress.
