Accident & Worker's Compensation
What is Workers’ Compensation?
If you get hurt on the job, CVCHS is required by law to pay for workers’ compensation benefits. You could get hurt by:
-
One event at work. Examples: hurting your back in a fall, getting burned by a chemical that splashes on your skin, getting hurt in a car accident while making deliveries.
-
Repeated exposures at work. Examples: hurting your wrist from using vibrating tools, losing your hearing because of constant loud noise.
-
Workplace crime. Examples: you get hurt in a store robbery, physically attacked by an unhappy Customer.
