Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Workers' compensation laws provide benefits to employees who suffer an injury or illness in the course of their employment, whether or not the employer was at fault. The injury must be accidental and occur while the employee was performing their job duties to be eligible for workers' compensation benefits. Having or not having health insurance and being completely disabled are not relevant factors in determining workers' compensation eligibility. Suing the employer for the injury is not necessary when workers' compensation laws apply.
