Workers’ Compensation — Kanner & Pintaluga Review

Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured during the course of employment.

You Are Not Alone

Workplace injuries are more common than most people believe. There are an estimated 139,064,000 civilian workers in the United States, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Each day, many of these workers suffer injury, disability, and even death from workplace incidents. On average, more than 4,500 United States workers die in a typical year from occupational injuries. Although difficult to enumerate, annually about 49,000 deaths are attributed to work-related illnesses.

An estimated 3.9 million workers suffer from nonfatal occupational injury or illness in a given year. Of those workers, 2 million are transferred, placed on work restrictions, or take time off of work. An estimated 2.6 million workers are treated in emergency departments for occupational injuries and illnesses, and approximately 110,000 of these workers are hospitalized.
