Benefits You May Be Entitled To
Workers’ compensation insurance is a no-fault system, meaning that you are covered regardless of who is at fault for your accident, injury, or occupational illness.
Workers’ compensation benefits generally consist of:
- Medical benefits – money for all medical treatments you may need and transportation to and from appointments.
- Wage loss benefits – money that accounts for the time you must take off work (temporary disability payments) or helps you account for changes to your earning potential (permanent disability benefits).
If you die, your family members may also be entitled to death benefits. Nevertheless, for severe injuries and workplace deaths, you may want to consider filing a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death claim – especially if negligence played a part in your accident.
Unlike a lawsuit, workers’ comp does not account for any physical or emotional pain and suffering you endure.
