Is Workers’ Comp Fault-Based Insurance?
Workers’ compensation does not use fault when determining who is eligible to get its benefits. It is a no-fault insurance system, which means that liability for your workplace accident should not be an important factor. You can admit to accidentally causing your accident and remain eligible to file a claim.
Liability can be factored into workers’ comp when there is:
- Suspicion of horseplay: If you were intentionally breaking company safety protocols or were trying to get hurt, then you might not be eligible for workers’ compensation. After all, workers’ comp covers workplace accidents, not purely any injury that happens at work.
- Third-party involvement: If you were injured by a third party at work – like a customer or a vendor – then you might be able to get workers’ comp and file a personal injury claim against that party for damages not provided otherwise.
Do You Need Evidence for Your Claim?
With workers’ compensation being a no-fault system, you technically do not need evidence to file your claim and successfully receive benefits. But if you have any evidence available, then you should collect it all the same. If your case becomes complicated for any reason, or your claim is denied, then the evidence you have could be what helps you get the benefits you deserve, with the help of our attorneys.
What Benefits Do You Get with Workers’ Comp?
Important workers’ compensation benefits include:
- Medical benefits: 100% of the medical costs incurred from treating your work-related injury should be provided by the insurance company. You shouldn’t have to pay for anything, not even co-pay and prescription costs.
- Disability pay: If you can’t return to work for a week or more, then you can become eligible for disability pay that replaces part of your missing wages. Most people who get disability pay qualify for 66.67% of their average weekly pre-injury wages paid each week until they can return to some form of employment.
- Vocational retraining: When a worker’s injury is too severe to allow them to return to their previous employment, they might qualify for vocational retraining benefits, which pay for courses and education that help them begin a new job at the same or a new company.
