Workplace injury is a serious issue and if you are injured in an accident at work, you are most likely entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Nearly every employer is required by state law to provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage for its employees. Additionally, it is important for you to report a workplace accident right away, even if you were not injured.
