Insurance that covers medical expenses and a portion of lost wages for employees who become injured or ill on the job is workers’ compensation insurance, commonly known as workers’ comp. Employee rehabilitation and death benefits is also included in coverage.

Regardless of employee negligence, these regulations help ensure that employers provide coverage for the cost of work-related injuries or occupational diseases. If their injury or illness relates to their job duties or employment, an employee can only receive benefits. Injuries caused by slipping on a wet or oily surface, lifting heavy equipment, or sustaining injury due to fires or explosions could also be covered.
