About Workers Compensation

Workers’ compensation is insurance paid by employers that provides cash benefits and medical care if an employee becomes disabled due to a workplace injury, regardless of fault. If you’ve suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under your employer’s workers’ compensation coverage. Your employer, who is required to carry workers’ compensation insurance coverage, should give you a workers’ compensation claim form to complete.

Workers’ compensation benefits should entitle you to medical treatment for your injury. Treatment may include consultations, physical therapy, surgery, hospitalization, drug treatment, nursing care, as well as physical and vocational rehabilitation services. You may also be entitled to lost wages.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, employees may be eligible for workers compensation benefits. If coronavirus exposure happens at work, employees may be able to collect workers compensation for loss of income and medical expenses.

Workers Compensation is a “No Fault” Insurance Program

In both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, you’re entitled to workers compensation no matter who is at fault for your injury. Even if you caused your own injury, you are entitled to workers compensation. If your employer is unwilling to cooperate, a workers comp attorney can help.
