To pay an injured employee that was injured on the job.
Yes compensation has to be refunded if the case is settled. The compensation will need to be refunded to the person injured, whoever assisted with the injured individual, and the courts.
This depends on a large part on the insurance that you are covered by. This period could be as short as 6 months to as long as a lifetime compensation. You should call your insurance company to inquire.
It may depend on the state you are in. We are in Maryland and I know here it is fine. My husband was injured on the job last August and we carry additional accident insurance and were able to collect for out patient procedures. I suggest checking with an attorney for your state.
Workers compensation is similar to insurance. If someone is injured while on the job the employer has to pay for wages lost while injured as well as medical expenses.

Workers Compensation
A second injury fund is a fund set aside by insurance companies to reimburse employers. The fund reimburses the company for any compensation payments made by the company themselves while an employee was injured.
Workers Compensation is necessary because an employee who is injured at his / her job can collect medical benefits, salary & scheduled bodily injury compensation while he / she is hurt without having to sue his / her employer first and prove negligence in order to get compensated. Workers Compensation is meant to be insurance to help the employee while injured until he / she is able to return to work. Without this insurance, employees would have to sue their employers (with money they don't have) and win before getting compensated. This form of 'no-fault' insurance for injured employees was supposed be an 'exclusive remedy' between employee and employer. Unfortunately, attorneys have intervened in the process and added extra costs and problems to the system.
