Worker’s compensation systems are designed to provide benefits to injured workers no matter whether an injury is caused by an employer or the employee's negligence. Generally injuries caused due to intoxication or illegal drug use are not covered by worker's compensation coverage may also be denied in situations involving conduct that violates company policy. You injury does not need to be caused by an accident. For example you may receive compensation for repetitive stress injuries including carpal tunnel syndrome and back problems that are caused by over use and misuse over long period of time. You may also be compensated for some illnesses or diseases that are the gradual result of work conditions, for example heart conditions, lung disease, and stress-related digestive problems.
