Worker's Compensation

Worker's Compensation

image representing workers compensationThe definition of a Worker’s Compensation Claim: Each state has it's own workers' compensation laws, and workers compensation insurance is typically required by states to be carried for each and every employee.

 

Workers’ compensation (workers' comp) is a 'no fault' system in in which injured workers receive medical and compensation benefits no matter who causes the job-related accident. If an illness or injury is job-related, the injured worker (also known as a claimant or applicant) receives medical benefits and may receive temporary compensation, if eligibility requirements are met. In some cases, a claimant may also receive permanent compensation benefits and job retraining.

 

Workers' comp is a critical area for both workers themselves and businesses. Reducing workers' comp costs has been a major goal of many states and businesses, but at the same time there are legal avenues available for workers that may have not fairly received the benefits they should have.
