Workers’ compensation insurance covers workplace injuries and illnesses. Certain types of injuries aren’t covered while others fall into a grey area. If an injury or occupational illness is sustained while you are performing the duties required by your job, it’s probably covered. For example, you fall off a ladder at work and break your leg. If the incident isn’t cut and dry, it’s often up to the injured or sick employee to provide evidence there’s a connection between their condition and their work.
