What is workers’ compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a system in which injured workers receive medical and money benefits no matter who causes the job-related accident. If an accident or illness is job-related, the injured worker receives medical benefits and may receive temporary compensation.

In some cases, a claimant may also receive permanent compensation benefits for the rest of their life.
