If you are someone who has been injured in an accident in the workplace, and that injury finds you unable to return to work for the foreseeable future, you are most likely now seeking workers’ compensation benefits. That being said, there are many ways in which these benefits can help you, and there are also many different types of workers’ compensation benefits you may receive.
