Workers' Compensation News

Are you a legal professional?

Workers’ compensation laws usually require businesses to have some form of insurance to cover employees who suffer injuries while on the job. Workers’ compensation systems are usually “no-fault,” which means that the negligence of an employee or the employer is not at issue. Employees under workers’ comp systems receive payment regardless of whether their actions contributed to their injuries, and employers also receive some protection since employees who receive workers’ compensation payments generally give up their right to file a private lawsuit against their employer. FindLaw’s Workers’ Compensation News section offers matchless information about the laws and legal issues associated with workers’ compensation to help inform you about this important but complex area of the law.
