Find general answers to frequently asked questions we receive about Workers Compensation.
What is workers compensation?
If an employee is injured on the job, the employer is required by law to pay for workers compensation benefits. Workplace injuries can include:
- A single event at work (i.e., experiencing a serious fall, getting burned by a chemical, being injured in a car accident while making deliveries).
- Repeated exposures at work (i.e., injuries due to repetitive motion or hearing loss due to loud work environment).
What are Workers Compensation benefits?
Workers compensation benefits vary from state to state and depend on the nature of the injury. Benefits may include:
- Medical Care – Paid for by your employer, to help you recover from an injury or illness caused by work.
- Temporary Disability Benefits – Payments if you lose wages because your injury prevents you from doing your usual job while recovering.
- Permanent Disability Benefits – Payments if you don’t recover completely.
- Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits – Vouchers to help pay for retraining or skill enhancement if you don’t recover completely and don’t return to work for your employer.
- Death Benefits – Payments to your spouse, children or other dependents if you die from a job injury or illness.
