Workers’ Compensation Overview
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system of insurance that protects workers and employers from some of the losses caused by on-the-job accidents and job-related illnesses. The system aims to help workers return to work as quickly as possible.
Workers’ compensation provides workers with:
- Benefits for medical care resulting from a work-related injury or illness
- Benefits for a worker who is permanently partially disabled once maximum medical improvement is reached
- Benefits for a worker who has a permanent impairment or is permanently totally disabled
- Benefits for temporary indemnity benefits if an injured worker is unable to work and earn a paycheck
- Survivor benefits for survivors of those killed on the job
- Dispute resolution through the WCA’s ombudsman, mediation, and administrative court system
