Workers Compensation Attorney

What is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is an employer-funded insurance program designed to provide benefits for injured workers without requiring fault to be proven. For instance, in Washington, D.C., every business with at least one employee is mandated to carry workers’ compensation insurance.

The D.C. Workers’ Compensation Program offers medical benefits and financial compensation for work-related injuries and illnesses. To specify employee roles, employers utilize a four-digit classification code.

The extent of coverage in a company’s workers’ compensation policy is determined by the level of risk associated with employees’ tasks. For instance, roles on construction sites necessitate higher coverage compared to primarily clerical work.

This program shields workers from the financial burden of sudden injuries or gradually developing illnesses due to occupational exposure over time.
