What Most Employers Fail to Tell YOU!

Millions of Americans each year, get hurt on the job; it's inevitable and many times, unavoidable. But if we know our rights and responsibilities, we can avoid the frustration, upset, and stress that often occur while we are trying to get well and back to work.

Injured Workers Have Rights Protected By The Workers' Compensation System

The workers' compensation system provides benefits if you become injured or ill from your job. Workers' compensation covers injuries or illnesses caused or made worse by work or the workplace. Workers' compensation does not cover self-inflicted injuries or injuries caused by intoxication. You do not have to prove that the accident or illness was your employer's fault or that it was not your fault.

What Workman's Compensation can do for you!

Workers' compensation:

• pays for reasonably necessary chiropractic care related to the injury;
  
• pays compensation for part of your wage loss or inability to earn a full income;
  
• pays compensation for permanent loss of use of or loss of body function;
  
• pays benefits to dependents for a work-related death; pays for vocational rehabilitation services if you cannot return to the job or to the employer you had before your injury.
