What it does

Existing workers' compensation law generally requires employers to secure payment of workers' compensation, including medical treatment, for injuries incurred by their employees that arise out of, or in the course of, employment. An employer is liable only for the percentage of permanent disability directly caused by the injury arising out of, and occurring in the course of, employment.
