Recent News about Workers' Compensation
If your injury occurred at work, your employer's workers' compensation insurance may be available to cover a portion or even all of your medical expenses.
Federal and state regulations mandate that companies carry workers' compensation insurance in case their employees are injured or become ill at work. Although this coverage is a requirement for all U.S. businesses, individual states have the ability to determine certain aspects of coverage pertaining to work-related injuries or illnesses. Because of the complexity of workers' compensation claims, we strongly recommend contacting an attorney if you have been involved in a work-related accident.
