Why Workers’ Compensation Is Like the Red Cross? – The number one reaction we get from injured workers is how few benefits there are for them, saying it’s not nearly enough. No one is glad they got injured because of the money they received was worth it. On the contrary, if they could give the money back in exchange to going back to the way they were before the injury, they would do it.
No worries about who’s at fault
Workers’ Compensation is like the Red Cross. When a disaster happens, the Red Cross is designed to be there quickly, fast, and first, and that’s how Workers’ Compensation is.
The Red Cross doesn’t ask whose fault it was; they don’t question if you should have been there, they’re there to give out basic quick needs to people who are in distress, and that’s the way Workers’ Compensation should be. It’s designed to give you benefits without worrying about who’s at fault, and you should theoretically get it right away.
Limited help
Like the Red Cross, Workers’ Compensation is really limited; for example, they’re not going to cover all the losses, and they don’t cover all losses a hundred percent. If you lose your 3-bedroom house in a natural disaster, you won’t get a 3-bedroom house from the Red Cross, you will get a cot, a pillow, and a blanket with 300 other people in a temporary shelter.
Unfortunately, unlike the Red Cross, there’s an insurance company that will be trying to figure out how not to help you. When you show up at the Red Cross in a natural disaster, they will take you in without question, they will give you the help. Insurance companies in Workers’ Compensation will look through your medical records, they will talk with you and your employer, all of it to try to figure out how to deny your claim.
