Workers' Rights and Protections

Workers' rights and protections under Workers' Compensation Law ensure that employees who are injured or become ill due to their job receive medical care and financial support. This system helps cover medical expenses and provides income replacement while they recover. It prevents employees from suing their employer for workplace injuries, in exchange for guaranteed benefits. Employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance to fund these benefits. The goal is to protect workers' well-being and promote a safe work environment, while also providing a structured process for addressing work-related injuries or illnesses.
