Workplace injuries happen all the time. Someone trips over an item left out in a hallway. An employee strains his or her back lifting a heavy load. Or, often more serious, a worker is injured by equipment or heavy machinery.

Fortunately, workers' compensation offers some protection for employees injured on the jobhelping manage medical bills or covering a portion of lost wages. It's insurance, and, just like personal health insurance, it covers injuries ranging from serious to relatively minor. In most cases, an employee is eligible for workers' compensation no matter who's at fault.
