Worker’s comp injuries come with a wide variety of causes and with varying degrees of severity. They can be similar to many other injuries, and it all depends on what you do for a living and how you injured yourself on the job. What makes worker’s comp injuries different is that you’re not going through your personal health insurance, you’re filing a worker’s compensation claim.
What Is a Worker’s Comp Injury
Worker’s compensation injuries are ones that happen on the job. They can be minor or they can leave you permanently disabled. Worker’s compensation can be an injury you incurred as a result of doing your duties or simply being on work property. A worker’s compensation claim refers to filing your bills or other financial-related documents to an insurance policy that your employer is required to have. Worker’s compensation is basically a type of insurance that compensates employees for injuries or disabilities suffered as a result of employment. It is separate from your regular healthcare insurance.
