State Workers' Compensation Laws

State Workers' Compensation Laws are designed to provide financial support and medical care to employees who are injured or become ill due to their job. Each state has its own regulations, which outline the benefits available, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation. These laws ensure that workers can receive necessary assistance without needing to prove fault or negligence. In return, employers typically gain protection from lawsuits related to workplace injuries. The system aims to balance the interests of both employees and employers, promoting workplace safety and accountability.
