Why workers compensation benefits
Workers Compensation Benefits are Important Because They Protect Workers and Employers
Belal Hamideh and the rest of his staff believe workers compensation benefits are important for many reasons. While we can express this sentiment at great length, we would like to quote the California Department of Insurance who puts it very well:
“Workers’ compensation insurance is a direct result of public awareness and outrage at the poor and often dangerous working conditions people were forced to labor under in order to make a living, and the financially devastating effects of a work-related injury or illness on the worker and the worker’s dependents.
Workers’ compensation insurance is the oldest social insurance program in the United States; in fact, it is older than both social security and unemployment compensation.
California adopted workers’ compensation laws in the 1910s along with most other states. Workers’ compensation is based on a no-fault system, which means that an injured employee does not need to prove that the injury or illness was someone else’s fault in order to receive workers’ compensation benefits for an on-the-job injury or illness.”
