Understanding Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance designed to provide benefits to employees who are injured while performing their job duties. It covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation services. However, navigating the workers’ compensation system can be a complex and frustrating process.

- Medical treatment: All necessary medical treatments related to the injury, such as surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
- Lost wages: Temporary or permanent disability payments to cover lost income while you recover.
- Rehabilitation: Coverage for therapy or vocational rehabilitation services to help you return to work.
