Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation is a system of benefits provided for workers who sustain work-related injuries or diseases. Each state has different laws that describe the benefits allowed. Benefits usually include payment of medical bills, payment for time off work, and payment for permanent injuries, including compensation for the inability to return to work. In certain circumstances, an injured worker’s family can be compensated for the death of the worker. If you are injured in a workplace accident or suffer an occupational illness, you should notify your employer right away, preferably in writing. You should also see a doctor as soon as possible after the incident. There is a large spectrum of injuries that may be covered under your state’s workers’ compensation laws, so it is important to choose the right attorney.
