Workers compensation laws provide a structure to protect injured workers. They provide guaranteed monetary awards to pay for lost wages, medical bills and permanent disability.

In exchange for employees agreeing to surrender their rights as civil litigants against their employers, the insurance is designed to shield the employees from large tort verdicts and settlements.
