Workers’ Compensation

Someone who is injured on the job is entitled to fair compensation for his or her injuries and financial strain. All employers in Michigan are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. Injured workers are entitled to receive lost wages and necessary medical treatment, including therapy, prescriptions, and any medical supplies to treat their injury. If a person is temporarily disabled due to an on-the-job injury, he or she is entitled to receive disability payments. A permanent disability also is an entitlement to compensation.

Workplace injuries may include fractures, lost limbs, lacerations, head injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive stress injuries, and injuries caused by other employees or equipment.
