Question

What are some examples of injuries that are covered under a worker's compensation plan? Are there circumstances in which injuries occurring at work will not be paid for

Answer 1

Ans) • Mental health conditions can be workers' compensation injuries or occupational diseases, too, just like physical conditions. Most states cover both psychiatric injuries from singular events, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and conditions arising over time, such as depression and severe anxiety.

• Certain types of workers and jobs are not covered by workers' compensation.

- The main categories of workers that are not covered by traditional workers' compensation are: business owners, volunteers, independent contractors, federal employees, railroad employees, and longshoremen.
