When Work and Injury Collide
The reality is it's often challenging to work at full capacity when limited by pain, an injury, or undergoing treatment that requires healing time. If you were injured at work, Workers' Compensation is available to cover your care for qualifying injuries that occurred or were exacerbated by job duties.
