If you become sick or injured on the job, you may be entitled to workmans comp benefits that provide compensation for mental injuries, traumatic physical injuries, and injuries that are the result of cumulative or repetitive trauma (carpal tunnel syndrome comes to mind for such cases).
Typically, the medical expenses that are paid for by workers compensation will include expenses related to hospital and treating physician care, emergency room care, the costs associated with imaging studies (xrays), blood panels, and other testing, and even the cost of rehabilitation treatment.
If you file a workers compensation claim, you employer's workmans comp carrier will immediately start paying all your medical expenses. This also includes bills for surgery that might be necessary.
