Workers' Comp Claims for Workplace Accidents

No matter the particular industry you may work in, you may be at risk of injury in a workplace accident at some point. Even an employee who spends most of his or her time behind a desk may slip and fall in an office walkway. For workers in the construction, manufacturing or transportation industries, accidents are more common and may occur due to heavy equipment malfunction, improper implementation of safety standards or even a simple mistake.

One of the major advantages of workers' compensation coverage for work-related accidents is that the injured employee will not need to prove that another party was negligent in order to be eligible for benefits. This is because workers' comp coverage is provided for work accidents on a no-fault basis. The employee does not need to prove who was at fault, only that the accident was work-related.
