Workers’ compensation (WC) insurance provides financial support and medical and disability coverage to employees injured in the course of employment in return for those injured workers relinquishing the right to sue their employers. Although workers can only seek workers’ compensation for work-related injuries and illnesses from their employers, they can still sue the manufacturers of products or equipment which caused the injury. All WC laws follow the same basic premise, but there is a lot of variety in the details. Benefits always include medical coverage and varying amounts for loss of income benefits.
