FAQS Background

Who qualifies for workers’ compensation benefits?

If you get hurt on the job, you are entitled to appropriate compensation for your injuries. That’s the law. Your benefits may include:

  • Lost wages for missed work
  • Medical expenses reasonable to treat the injury or illness
  • Benefits to cover a specific loss, such as a limb or the ability to use it
  • Payment for severe disfigurement or scars
  • Coverage for participation in certain physical or vocational rehabilitation programs
  • Death benefits, such as payment of burial expenses (where applicable)
