Employers, here’s a stat that may surprise you: the number of Americans injured on the job in 2021 is roughly the equivalent of the population of Chicago 🤯
It’s safe to say then that strong safety measures won’t always prevent accidents on the job. That’s why we’re sharing a quick rundown of three types of workers’ compensation employers need to keep in mind:
Wage Replacement 💵 Pays workers who are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness until they can return to work.
Authorized Medical ⚕️ Covers medical costs and lost time at work due to a work-related injury or illness.
Workers' Comp Settlement ⚖️ If an injured worker isn't satisfied with the coverage offered by their employer's carrier, they may consult with a lawyer.
If you have any questions about workers' comp, don't hesitate to ask. It's always a good idea to have this information tucked away just in case. And if the time comes when you need guidance, know we’re here to help 🤝
