What Workers’ Compensation Covers
Workers' Compensation benefits are designed to provide financial support to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. The specific benefits can vary by jurisdiction, but common components include:
- Medical Expenses: Workers' Compensation typically covers the costs of medical treatment for work-related injuries or illnesses. This can include doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
- Lost Wages: Employees who are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness may receive compensation for a portion of their lost wages. The amount often depends on the severity of the disability and may be a percentage of the employee's regular wages.
- Disability Benefits: Workers' Compensation may provide disability benefits based on the extent of the injury or illness. There are generally four types of disability benefits:
Temporary Total Disability (TTD): Paid when an employee is temporarily unable to work.
Temporary Partial Disability (TPD): Paid when an employee can work but is earning less due to the injury.
Permanent Total Disability (PTD): Paid when an employee is permanently unable to work.
Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): Paid when an employee has a permanent impairment but can still work to some extent. - Vocational Rehabilitation: In some cases, injured or ill workers may receive assistance in returning to the workforce through vocational rehabilitation programs. This may include training for a new job or modifications to the existing job.
- Death Benefits: If a work-related injury or illness results in the death of an employee, Workers' Compensation may provide benefits to dependents, such as surviving spouses or children.
- Funeral Expenses: In the unfortunate event of a work-related death, Workers' Compensation may cover reasonable funeral and burial expenses.
