Workers compensation, a.ka. Workmans comp, is a benefit system designed to help workers who have become injured or sick due to their work conditions or environment. Unfortunately, it is also a system whose rules vary state by state and whose outcomes are often unfair to sick and injured workers. Because the system is complicated, to win a workmans comp claim, a worker should learn about the workers compensation system in their state and should certainly consider getting a workers compensation attorney or lawyer to handle a claim. |

In most states, it will be the workmans comp carrier who makes this decision, i.e. approves or disapproves the workers compensation claim.
If the carrier disapproves the workmans comp claim, the claim can be arbitrated before the workers compensation board (depending on the state, it may also be called "the industrial commission). If the workers compensation board or industrial commission denies the workmans comp claim, it can, typically, go to court for resolution.
