Have you been injured at work? If so, you are probably going through the process of workers’ compensation. Your employer, by law, must provide workers’ compensation benefits for you. These benefits include paying for your time out of work, or work reduction, any medical expenses you incur as a result of your injury or illness, and generally, any rehab you may have to do to return to work in the state to work. If the case is that the worker suffers a fatality because of the injury, his or her dependents will receive benefits due them.
Workers’ compensation laws are the same across the United States. However, there are some things that are state-specific. A lot of times these specific laws are overlooked, whether intentional or by error. Either way, as the injured worker, you need to ensure that you get everything that you should get according to the workers’ compensation guidelines.
