Most times, the workers’ compensation insurance company for your employer pays your wage loss benefits and your medical bills emanating from a workplace injury or illness. Sometimes, employers are self-insured, so benefits are paid through a TPA, or third-party administrator, but come directly out of the company’s pocket. There are also occasions that, for certain reasons, an employer will pay you full wages in lieu of workers’ compensation benefits. If your employer does not carry workers’ compensation insurance and is not insured, you may be eligible to receive comp benefits from the State Workers’ Insurance Fund.
