Workers' compensation is a form of insurance that protects you in the event of a workplace injury. You are entitled to medical care and temporary disability payments under workers' compensation. After completing treatment, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your losses. Other than accidents, there are a variety of causes for workplace injuries. If you're experiencing body aches, you may have sustained an injury on the job. Personal injury refers to any type of accident-related injury. Automobile accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, defective products, and wrongful death claims may result in these types of injuries. In contrast, bodily injury is more restricted and typically refers to injuries sustained by another person, most commonly in a car accident.
