The Work Injury Compensation Act (WICA) is a statute that enables employees to make claims for work-related injuries or diseases without the need to file a civil suit under common law. If the employee suffers any injury arising from and in the course of employment, his employer shall be liable to pay compensation to the employee or his family accordingly. WICA is a no-fault system and provides a faster and cheaper alternative to settle compensation claims as employees do not need to engage a lawyer. A former version of it was known as ‘workmen compensation’ or ‘workmen injury compensation’.
