Workers'
compensation is an insurance program that allows employees to receive financial
compensation, vocational training, employment assistance, and other benefits for
injuries they got while on the job. It also covers some illnesses or long-term
injuries caused by work conditions over an extended period of time, and
injuries you may have gotten while traveling, doing errands, or doing other
job-related activities. State and federal laws differ regarding workers'
compensation benefits, and laws also vary from state to state. Workers'
compensation is usually administered at the state level. If an employee is
killed on the job, his family can receive the workers' compensation. Since benefit awards depend on whether your
condition is considered temporary or permanent, you should contact a workers'
compensation attorney before agreeing to any settlement.
