Coverage Explained
If your employee is injured at work or while performing his or her job duties, it is important that all parties follow the step-by-step procedures outlined for reporting a work-associated incident. Most state’s statutes have differing regulations as to how to manage a work comp claim at all phases of occurrence. Workers compensation benefits can also apply to settlements involving permanent illness or disability caused by a work accident, such as accidental exposure to asbestos or carpal tunnel syndrome. In situations where a worker may not be able to perform their duties following an accident, work comp may provide for partial wage replacement or provide for the cost of retraining for another job position. But, both the employer and employee must abide by the strict requirements as outlined in their company’s workers compensation insurance policy.
