Workers’ Compensation Is a No-Fault System
Workers’ compensation claims can be complicated. Denials are common. Some employers try to blame employees for an accident or even fire them for bringing a workers’ compensation claim.
Understanding that the workers’ compensation system is a no-fault system is vital. That means you do not have to prove your employer was at fault for the accident, and your employer cannot fire you or retaliate against you for filing a claim.
