What is Workers' Compensation?

Workers' compensation is a social insurance program developed to help employees who have suffered injuries or illness at their work place. When an employee becomes injured in a work-related accident, his or her employer is required to pay benefits for the individual.

These benefits are meant to cover medical and financial damages caused by the accident, such as hospital stay, lost wages, surgical procedures or medications.

In most cases, workers' comp will protect employers from being involved in a law suit after the accident has occurred.
