Workers' Compensation is a "no-fault" system in which you receive medical and compensation benefits no matter who caused the job-related accident. Lawsuits against the employer, except under very limited circumstances, are not permitted.

If the injury or illness is job related, you receive medical benefits and, if eligible, temporary compensation. In some cases, you may also receive permanent compensation and "job retraining".
