![]() Workers’ compensation, mandatory in almost every state, is insurance provided by all employers to pay for the care of employees who are injured or become disabled in the course of executing their duties. Employers across the U.S. currently pay billions of dollars in workers’ compensation premiums—that amount varies depending on the risks associated with the particular industry and the particular job, and also depending on the number and size of workers’ compensation claims a company has filed. It is in the best interest of every company to know how to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses.
