What happens with a work related injury?

If I get injured at work do they pay for my hospital bill?

You need to file a workman’s compensation claim for them to cover the medical bills that are related to your injury.
If you need additional resources, the Department of Labor and OSHA have great information. Wishing you the best!

It depends; There is an aspect of coverage through workplace comp but I would talk with HR at your company to fully understand the coverage policies in the event you have a work related injury.

Workers’ compensation schemes usually pay all medical expenses which are reasonable. Hospitalization is usually judged to be reasonable. To be absolutely sure call your compensation board.
