Workers' compensation is a type of insurance that provides financial benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. It covers medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and a portion of lost wages for the injured worker. The purpose of workers' compensation is to ensure that employees are protected and provided for in the event of a workplace accident or injury.
Worker's compensation is insurance coverage for employees to compensate them in case they are injured while performing their job. The employer pays a premium that covers medical expenses and lost wages in case their employees are injured. If these benefits are excepted the hurt employee must release the employer of further liability. The insurance company pays the claim and the employee can no longer sue the employer for the injury.

Your employer is liable for ALL injuries that happen to employees "in the course and scope of employment".

"In the scope" means while performing your assigned duties - not while fighting or stealing or picketing.
If an employee is injured while performing work for the employer outside the workplace, then the injury should be reported.
