If you suffer a work-related injury or illness, your employer is legally required to provide you with workers' compensation benefits. This could be due to a single accident that occurs while you are at work, such as falling and injuring your back or being burned by a chemical, or it could be the result of repeated exposure to hazardous conditions, such as developing a repetitive strain injury from repeating the same motion or losing your hearing due to prolonged exposure to loud noise.

Medical treatment: Your employer is required to pay for any medical treatment related to your work injury or illness. This can include doctor's visits, prescription medication, and hospital stays.

Lost wages: If you are unable to work due to your injury or illness, workers' compensation may provide you with benefits to help replace a portion of your lost wages.

Rehabilitation: If your injury or illness requires rehabilitation or other types of therapy, workers' compensation may cover the cost of these services.

Permanent disability: If you are unable to return to work due to a permanent disability caused by your injury or illness, workers' compensation may provide you with ongoing benefits to compensate for your loss of earning capacity.

A work injury is any physical or mental harm that is sustained on the job. This can include accidents that occur while working, such as falling off a ladder or being struck by an object, as well as injuries or illnesses that are caused by repeated exposure to hazardous conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or respiratory problems due to toxic fumes. If you are injured or become ill while performing work-related duties, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. These benefits can cover medical treatment, lost wages, rehabilitation, permanent disability, and death benefits, and are typically provided by the employer through the purchase of an insurance policy or through a state-run program.

If you are experiencing significant pain or suffering, have incurred high medical expenses, or have been unable to return to work due to your injury, it may be worth considering consulting with an attorney. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights and options, and can assist you in negotiating a fair settlement with your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
