Its purpose is to provide injured individuals with financial support when they’re unable to work due to an illness or injury that occurred while performing their duties on the job.

This law requires employers with one or more employees to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which provides coverage for medical care, disability benefits and other costs related to injuries or illnesses the employees have suffered while on the job or as a direct result of the tasks they carried out on the behalf of the employer.

The benefits typically last until an injured employee reaches the maximum level of recovery from their injury or illness. The duration is determined by the type and severity of the injury, and the treatment required.

Each employee may get different levels of payment based on their wages before the injury occurred. Generally speaking, an injured employee can receive up to two-thirds of their regular salary and any additional medical expenses related to their treatment, but this can vary depending on the specific situation.

This depends on your employment status before filing for benefits. If an employee is already employed under an at-will contract then they can be terminated without cause by either party with reasonable notice, even if they’re receiving benefits. However, if the employee is protected under certain labor laws or gets legal advice from their lawyer on time, then they may not be terminated while receiving workers’ comp payments unless there is just cause (e.g serious misconduct).

In general, it takes 1-2 weeks for workers’ comp payments to start after your attorney has helped you get your claim approved. However, this time frame varies depending on individual cases and how complicated the claim is.

Some lawyers may tell you that employers won’t cancel health insurance coverage while an employee is receiving workers’ comp. However, this largely depends on the specific workplace, employer and the type of contract that the employee has.
