worker's compensation systems

Workers' compensation is a system that provides financial and medical benefits to employees who are injured or become ill due to their job. It ensures workers receive support without needing to prove fault or negligence by their employer. In exchange, employees typically give up the right to sue their employer for damages related to the injury. Benefits can include coverage for medical expenses, wage replacement, and rehabilitation. The system aims to quickly assist injured workers while protecting employers from costly lawsuits, promoting a fair and efficient process for workplace injuries.
