What are workers’ compensation benefits? Workers’ compensation benefits are a kind of insurance coverage that is offered by employers to cover their employees if they are hurt or killed on the job. It will cover medical care for work related injuries or illnesses and help you financially by paying a portion of the wages that you are lost while you are unable to work because of the injury or illness. While workers’ comp requirements vary from state to state, every state requires some form of workers’ comp to workers, at no expense of their own, by almost every employer out there. You can basically suffer an injury from any job, so you should be aware of what to do in the event that situation arises. If you are hurt at work, you should notify your supervisor immediately. Injuries can be more severe than they initially appear, so you should always see a physician to be treated.
