Occupational Injuries

Posted by admin On December - 7 - 2009

On-the-job injuries occur due to misfortunate injuries or occupational diseases and may be covered by Workers’ Compensation laws.  Even though, safety laws have been implemented to protect America’s working public; serious, sometimes negligent accidents still take place.  Most employers are required to carry Workers’ Compensation insurance, therefore entitling employees to certain benefits when a personal injury occurs on the job.  Workers have the right to receive compensation for accident related expenses for injuries incurred in the work place.  Accidents of this nature may be covered by San Francisco Workers’ Compensation laws or tort laws.
