Workers' Compensation Systems

Workers' Compensation Systems are legal programs that provide financial and medical benefits to employees injured or made ill at work. They protect workers from the burden of medical expenses and lost wages without needing to prove fault or negligence by the employer. In turn, employers gain immunity from most lawsuits related to workplace injuries. The system is designed to ensure quick support for workers and promote safety, funded through employer-paid insurance or state funds. It generally covers work-related accidents, illnesses, and sometimes even deaths, helping employees recover and return to work whenever possible.
