What is Workers Compensation?

In the event something happens while you’re at work, workers compensation is their to ensure that you receive the treatment you need based on the situation as well as financial compensation for your time. It’s your workplace’s responsibility to provide you with a safe environment and to ensure you’re properly equipped for any tasks they demand of you. If they fail at this, and you endure some form of injury, they’re the ones legally obligated to provide you with help, and you’re entitled to that aid under most circumstances. There are a few exceptions depending on your state, however, such as injury due to intoxication.
