Workers’ compensation is insurance that covers your medical expenses for injuries and health problems that occur while you’re on the job. You may also receive part of your wages if you can’t work while you heal and recover.
Your employer pays for workers’ compensation, so you’re protected and can get the care you need following a job-related injury.
After a work-related injury, seek emergency care if needed and be sure your employer knows about your accident. If you don’t need emergency care, schedule a physical evaluation as soon as possible to document your injury and get the necessary treatment.
While some occupations increase your chances of injury, every work environment poses risks. For example, people working in an office may trip over something that shouldn’t be in the middle of the floor and end up with a broken bone.
