What is Workers' Compensation?
Workers’ Compensation is a form of insurance that provides benefits to employees who suffer from work-related injuries or illnesses. It is a no-fault system, meaning that employees do not have to prove that their employer was at fault for their injuries or illness to receive benefits. Workers’ Compensation provides benefits such as medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for injured employees. At the same time, it protects employers from potential lawsuits resulting from workplace injuries.

Benefits of Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ Compensation provides several benefits for employees who suffer from work-related injuries or illnesses. These benefits include:
Medical Benefits
Workers’ Compensation covers all reasonable and necessary medical expenses related to a work-related injury or illness. This includes doctor’s visits, hospitalization, surgeries, prescriptions, and other medical expenses.
Wage Replacement Benefits
Workers’ Compensation provides wage replacement benefits for employees who are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness. This includes temporary total disability, temporary partial disability, permanent total disability, and permanent partial disability benefits. These benefits ensure that injured employees can maintain their standard of living while they recover from their injuries or illness.
Rehabilitation Benefits
Workers’ Compensation provides rehabilitation benefits for employees who need to undergo medical treatment, physical therapy, or vocational rehabilitation to recover from a work-related injury or illness. Rehabilitation benefits can help injured employees regain their physical and mental health and return to work as soon as possible.
Workers Compensation Process
Our Worker’s Compensation process begins when an employee reports a work-related injury or illness to their employer. Employees must report their injury or illness as soon as possible to ensure that they receive the benefits they are entitled to under Worker’s Compensation laws. Once an employer receives a report of an injury or illness, they must file a claim with their Worker’s Compensation insurance carrier.
