Workers’ compensation does not just cover medical bills. Below is a list of everything that your claim can cover: Medical bills: This includes all treatments, procedures, office visits, and transportation to and from medical treatment as it relates to your injury. Lost wages: Your regular pay will still be provided while you recover from a workplace injury. Disability: If you are temporarily or permanently precluded from work due to your injury, workers’ compensation will cover your disability payments.  Death Benefits: If a worker dies due to their injuries, the surviving dependents will receive benefits, including funeral coverage. Note: Worker’s compensation does not cover compensation for pain and suffering. In exchange for filing a claim with workers’ compensation, you relinquish your right to sue your employer for more funds.
