Workers'
Compensation Claims
Employers are required by law to carry workers' compensation insurance.
Workers' compensation provides benefits to workers who are injured
on the job. Generally, the Workers' Compensation Act is a wage replacement
law which pays the injured worker a percentage of his or her average
weekly wage. In addition, workers' compensation pays the reasonable
and necessary medical costs related to the injury. If the injury
happens during the course of employment, the worker is entitled
to workers' compensation benefits regardless of who is at fault
for the injury. The worker is not allowed to sue the employer.
