Workers' compensation provides medical coverage and lost-wage benefits for job-related injuries or illnesses, typically paid by your employer's insurer or state fund. Always report your injury immediately, ideally in writing, including date, time, and details, even if minor. You have up to 120 days to notify your employer. Consult a workers' comp attorney promptly to avoid missing critical deadlines and protect your rights; attorney fees apply only if you win your case.
