Often referred to simply as “workers’ comp”, the area of law presides over the system implemented by the government for ill, injured and disabled workers. The program includes state-mandated insurance which reimburses these workers when they are injured on the job and provides benefits for dependent family members when the employees are killed as a result of illnesses or accidents caused by their employment. Although this insurance is provided by private insurance companies in most states, a few states manage a state fund instead, and even fewer have state-owned monopolies.
