Workers’ compensation was created to assure workers that they would get the medical treatment they needed after a work accident, and so that they would receive a percentage of their wages while injuries kept them from working.
But the workers’ compensation system benefits employers, too. The employer does not have to face a negligence lawsuit. The employers’ expenses are limited to medical treatment, wage losses, disfigurement and when applicable, permanent disability or death benefits.
