Understanding the Ins and Outs of Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation is an insurance program that many employers are required to carry. This means that if you suffer a job-related injury or illness, you can receive compensation for some of your lost wages and your resultant medical bills will be paid. However, it is possible to have a denied workers’ compensation claim near San Jose.

It’s crucial to contact a workers’ compensation attorney right away after sustaining a job-related injury. There are deadlines for filing a claim, and the laws and procedure for filing can vary from state to state.
