Worker's compensation insurance provides benefits to employees for work-related injuries. This includes injuries that may happen as a result of materials and equipment they use as well as accidents that may occur when they travel on company business. Coverage includes medical care and a portion of lost wages when the employee is unable to work. Workers compensation insurance also provides benefits for the employee's dependents if the employee dies during work-related duty.

State laws require most employers to carry workers compensation insurance.
