Title
Getting Worker's Compensation benefits
Definition
This category covers if and how an employee can get Worker's Compensation benefits. The laws vary state to state, but generally workers who are injured on the job or have a sickness or disability that is made worse by workplace conditions can access workers' compensation to help them cover their costs. This also covers whether Worker's Compensation programs stop an employee from being able to sue their employer for their injury.
