No money is taken from workers paychecks and no payments are made by workers for workers\u2019 compensation. The law requires employers to supply workers\u2019 compensation benefits either by paying a commercial insurance carrier for insurance or by receiving approval from the state to insure them independently or through a pool created among their industry.

Wage loss and medical benefits can be paid to injured workers for the rest of their life if their injury is severe enough.<\/p>\n<p>Workers\u2019 compensation wage loss benefits require the injured worker to have lost at least a week of wages to receive payments from his\/her employer or his\/her employer\u2019s insurance.
