Mary of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, discovered the
importance of workers compensation insurance when she was injured on the job.
Mary was caring for a patient and, while helping the patient into a wheelchair,
she pulled her back. The injury forced her to miss two weeks of work, as she
had to visit multiple doctors and allow her back to heal before resuming her
daily responsibilities.
If it weren't for workers compensation insurance, Mary would
have lost much more than the use of her back for those two weeks. With bills to
pay, she would have been financially devastated had workers compensation not
covered the lost wages and doctor's fees associated with her injury.
Workers compensation laws vary from one state to the next,
but in all cases they are meant to protect all parties involved. Here are some
important highlights about this form of insurance:
- Workers compensation will provide employees with wages they have missed should they be absent from work due to a work-related injury.
- Workers compensation often covers medical bills associated with a work-related injury, such as costs regarding hospital visits and follow-up appointments.
- When an employee accepts workers compensation coverage they give up their right to sue their employer.
- This form of insurance allows for a variety of situations, as it can offer weekly payments, similar to disability insurance, and can provide benefits to the families of workers who die due to their injuries, depending upon the circumstances.
It is good that Mary was able to enjoy the privileges of her compensation. It certainly saves her from the financial burden, particularly on her medical bills. Workers’ compensation insurance and claims are essential for every employee. In the event of any accident, it would help them to get back on their feet again after suffering occupational injury.
