About Workers Compensation Insurance
This type of insurance provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees who are injured at work. In exchange, employees relinquish their right to sue their employer for negligence. Therefore, Workers Compensation Insurance helps protect employers from costly lawsuits, while also assuring employees that they are provided some coverage in case of illness or injury on the job.
Understanding the Workers Compensation Law
Workers Compensation Insurance is mandatory in most U.S. states, and laws requiring that businesses hold these policies are intended to eliminate the need for litigation.
The workers compensation benefits are extensive.
Employees who are injured or become disabled at work will not need to cover payment of their own medical bills. Instead they will receive monetary compensation to cover the loss of wages. This workmen’s compensation might cover a portion of wages while they are out recovering from an injury. However, it might last longer in situations where employees have suffered permanent physical damage.
