Introduction to the Workers’ Compensation Law. Workers’ compensation is insurance that provides cash benefits and/or medical care for workers who are injured or become ill as a direct result of their job. Employers pay for this insurance, and shall not require the employee to contribute to the cost of compensation.
Your health and well-being are the most important concern and you should first seek immediate medical treatment. If you don’t, you run the risk of life-long consequences and permanent injury.
You’re free to receive treatment from any doctor you wish, contrary to what your employer might suggest.
