Workers' Compensation Acts are statutes that establish the liability of an employer for injuries or sicknesses that arise out of and in the course of employment. This liability is created without regard to the fault or negligence of the employer. Benefits generally include hospital and other medical payments and compensation for loss of income. If the injury is covered by the statute, compensation thereunder will be the employee's only remedy against his employer.
Workers' compensation income refers to the benefits provided to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses, compensating for loss of income, medical expenses, and rehabilitation costs during their recovery period.
