Workers' Compensation Regulations

Workers' compensation regulations are laws that provide financial and medical benefits to employees who are injured or become ill due to their job. These regulations ensure that workers receive support for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost wages without needing to prove fault. In exchange, employees generally cannot sue their employers for negligence related to the injury. Each state has its own specific rules about coverage, benefits, and processes to file claims, making it essential for both employers and employees to understand their rights and responsibilities under these laws.
