WHAT IS WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE?

Workers' compensation insurance is a specialized insurance type designed to offer benefits to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses due to their job responsibilities. Operating on a no-fault principle, this insurance ensures that employees need not establish their employer's negligence to receive benefits.

The primary objective of workers' compensation insurance is to provide financial assistance to employees injured at work. This coverage encompasses medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs, facilitating a smooth recovery process and return to work. Simultaneously, it shields employers from potential lawsuits and legal repercussions arising from workplace injuries.

Mandated by law, workers' compensation insurance is a prerequisite for businesses with employees, with specific regulations varying across states and countries.
