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. |

The nice thing about the workers compensation system is that, regardless of the state in which you live, workmans comp is uniformly designed to be a no-fault system.
So, in other words, even if a job injury is caused by a work accident that is determined to have been the fault of the worker, the worker may still be eligible for worker's compensation benefits. The only exceptions to the no-fault workman's comp system tend to be injuries that are self-inflicted, or are the result of a worker's impairment due to drug or alcohol use on the job.
