Being injured on the job can cause pain beyond physical harm. You are out of work, losing money, and have medical bills piling up. So what do you do? You may want to consider filing a claim for workers’ compensation. If you qualify, you may receive compensation for lost wages and any related medical bills. Here are a few things you need to know about these benefits.
What is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation, or workers’ comp, is an insurance program that provides compensation for employees who are injured by accident while doing the tasks required of them by their employer. It is a no-fault remedy, meaning the employee is not required to prove fault to receive benefits. Workers’ compensation covers almost any injury caused by doing your job. However, it is important to keep in mind that workers’ compensation does not cover pre-existing injuries unless the injury was aggravated or made worse due to the employment.
Do I Qualify?
To be eligible for workers’ compensation, you must be an employee. Contractors are not eligible. You must also work for an employer that has workers’ compensation insurance. Not all employers are required to carry insurance. Finally, your injury/disease must be work-related.
