Workers' compensation provides benefits to employees who suffer from job-related injuries or illnesses. This is a "no-fault" insurance program, which means benefits are available regardless of who was at fault. Benefits are also offered to dependents of workers who died as the result of employment-related accidents or illnesses. Workers' compensation benefits can include the following types of coverage:
- Medical benefits
- Temporary total benefits
- Permanent partial benefits
- Permanent total benefits
- Death benefits
In exchange for benefits, workers are unable to bring civil action against their employers for the accident or illness, except in circumstances involving intentional acts. However, in some situations, workers may be able to bring a civil action against someone who is not an employer or coworker, but who caused the job-related injuries.
