What is Workers' Compensation?

Workers’ compensation insurance is a no-fault insurance system that is compulsory for employers. In the compensation bargain created by the legislature that resulted in workers’ compensation, the employer gives up its right to challenge a claim for fault on the part of the worker for a work-related injury, and the employee gives up the right to sue their employer for far greater damages in civil court.
