Workers’ compensation is insurance that provides workers who were injured or became ill due to their job with cash benefits and medical care. This insurance can also help workers cover bills related to seeking specialized treatments for their illness, such as travel, hotel stay, and other accompanying expenses. Finally, workers’ compensation can help individuals recover lost income by providing these individuals with disability payments, also referred to as replacement income. This income can be temporary or permanent, depending on the circumstances. Employees must file a workers’ compensation claim through an employer to pursue these benefits. Employees cannot file these claims through asbestos manufacturers, contractors, or suppliers, although they can file a mesothelioma lawsuit against these organizations. Furthermore, employees cannot file a workers’ compensation claim with an Asbestos Trust.
