Workers' compensation is a form of insurance providing medical benefits and wage replacement to employees injured during employment. Understanding what workers' compensation covers is important if you've been injured on the job.
What Workers' Compensation Covers
Workers' Compensation covers medical treatment for work-related injuries, rehabilitation services, and a portion of lost wages during recovery. In some cases, it may also cover permanent disability benefits.
Eligibility
Most employees are covered by workers' compensation if they're injured on the job. Some exceptions exist for independent contractors and certain agricultural workers.
The Claims Process
Report your injury promptly to your employer, seek medical treatment, file a claim, and work with an attorney to ensure you receive all benefits you're entitled to.
