Accidents and Illnesses Considered
for Workers' Compensation Benefits
Any accident or illness that occurs in the course of and arising
from your employment will be considered for workers' compensation
benefits. This means that the injury or illness must be a direct
result of doing your job.
Psychological conditions are not covered unless they arise as
a direct result of a Bureau of Workers'
Compensation approved physical injury.
Occupational Disease
Workers' compensation also may cover a disease that is contracted
in the course of employment and more likely to be contracted specifically
from your job than from employment in general or from just being
a part of the general public.
