State Workers’ Compensation Agencies

State Workers’ Compensation Agencies are government organizations that administer workers' compensation programs. These programs provide financial and medical benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. Each state has its own agency, which oversees claims, ensures compliance with laws, and helps workers access benefits. The goal is to support injured workers while protecting employers from lawsuits. The agency also promotes workplace safety to prevent injuries. Essentially, they play a critical role in ensuring that both workers and employers understand and meet their rights and responsibilities regarding workplace injuries.
