The Workers’ Compensation does not cover every loss caused by an on-the-job injury. Even for those losses that are covered – the workers’ compensation law provides very limited benefits. The Workers’ Compensation Law is only one of sixteen possible resources available to injured workers. There are other laws, insurance programs, along with basic personal responsibility that will help you cover your losses and help you get your life moving again.
