Workers’ compensation is a legal insurance benefit that covers on-the-job injuries. It is a trade-off; workers lose their ability to for damages in most cases, but in return, workers’ comp will grant benefits for injury regardless of whose fault the injury was. The worker can still sue if the employer was being reckless (or intentional!) leading to the worker getting harmed.

One glance at the federal government’s Workers’ Compensation Web site or handbook confirms what all of us already know—Workers’ Compensation law is an almost bottomless pit of rules, processes and, time limits.
