When your independence has been taken away at the hands of another person's negligence, feeling angry, betrayed, confused, and vulnerable are all natural and justified emotions. Even minor injuries can cause considerable disruptions in your life and your overall self-reliance. But the worst part is you can't even blame yourself.
Working conditions have probably the widest range of variety in the United States. From office work to construction to in-home contractors to on-your-feet sales, production. In basic terms, workers' compensation refers to the financial support given to an employee who sustained an injury on the job.
