Workers' compensation insurance provides benefits to employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job. It covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs — and protects your business from costly lawsuits arising from workplace injuries. In Kansas, most employers with employees are required by law to carry this coverage.
