You have the right to workers’ compensation benefits if you are injured on the job. Employees with injuries arising out of their work and who are unable to work are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, which generally include payment of two thirds of any wages missed due to injury and payment of all medical bills related to the injury.
Find out more about your rights at work from the Employment Justice Center, at DCEJC.ORG or call 202-828-9675.
