Workers' Compensation Laws

Workers' Compensation Laws are regulations that provide financial and medical benefits to employees injured or ill due to their work. These laws ensure that workers receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation without needing to prove fault. In exchange, employees generally forfeit the right to sue their employers for those injuries. The system aims to promote workplace safety and health by encouraging employers to minimize risks and protect their workers. Essentially, it helps injured workers recover while maintaining a balanced relationship between employers and employees.
