When an employee is injured on the job, the employer should provide medical and financial aid through workers’ compensation funds.
On-the-Job Injuries occur for a variety of reasons. Depending on the work environment and job activities, the safety level can range from mild to dangerous. Even in the mildest of work environments, injuries can still occur whether due to dangerous work conditions, or many times due to employees being improperly trained or ill-equipped for safety in the work place.
Unexpected or unperceived injuries occurring at work do not negate employer responsibility for those injuries. As the proprietor of the business, the employer generally bears full responsibility for any and all accidents that occur at the business location.
