State laws require that employers, or an employer's insurance company, compensate an employee or their family for injuries or death that may occur while you are working. You may be entitled to:

• Weekly benefits while you are temporarily totally disabled and unable to work.
• The payment of your medical expenses.
• Weekly payments or a lump sum payment for partial or total disability resulting from a work related injury.

What should I do if I am injured?

Report the injury to your employer immediately. If you cannot reach an agreement with your employer or their insurance carrier concerning what benefits or medical expense payments you are entitled to, you can file your claim with the Industrial Commission of your state. The comission is usually the court system setup to deal with worker's compensation claims.
