Worker's Compensation Laws

Worker’s Compensation Laws provide employees with a way to receive compensation for work-related injuries or illnesses without having to prove fault or negligence by their employer. When a worker is injured on the job, they can file a claim to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and sometimes rehabilitation costs. In return, employees generally give up their right to sue their employer for damages related to the injury. These laws aim to ensure quick assistance for injured workers while limiting lengthy legal disputes, fostering a balanced system of workplace injury support.
