Why Workers’ Compensation Matters
Workers’ compensation is designed to protect employees who get injured or sick because of their job. It covers medical bills, lost wages, and sometimes disability benefits. But filing a claim isn’t always straightforward. Mistakes or delays can mean you don’t get the support you need when you need it most. That’s why having the right help can make all the difference.
