Getting hurt at work can be scary. However, you have rights that protect you and your family. Many workers don’t know what they can do after a workplace accident. That’s why we’re here to help you understand your options.
What is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation is insurance that helps you when you get hurt on the job. Furthermore, it covers your medical bills and lost wages.
Your Rights Include:
- Medical care for your injury
- Money to replace lost wages
- Help getting back to work
- Benefits if you can’t return to your old job
Common Workplace Injuries:
Car accidents while driving for work, slips and falls, machinery accidents, and lifting injuries happen often. Additionally, stress injuries from doing the same task over and over are also covered.
