Do you have to be injured at work in order to receive workers comp insurance?

Yes you do have to be injured at work to receive workers comp. That is why there are different types of leave from work due to injury. Workers comp is what you claim when injured at work. If you are injured away from work but cannot go back to work you would file under either short term or long term disability depending on how long you were required to be off for.

Is it mandatory to receive workman's comp if not wanted?

Your question can be taken 2 ways so I'll give 2 responses: # You don't have to file a claim, but it's recommended because you don't always know the long term effects of an injury or how a subsequent injury can make your condition much worse than it would if it were the first injury. # Any worker can opt out of the Workers' Comp system. By opting out you gain a right to sue your employer but you lose out on immediate benefits. Contact your employer or your state Workers' Comp board to learn how to opt out. Personally, I don't as a rule recommend opting out. Comp has valuable benefits, and especially in this economy, who knows whether your employer would be able to pay if you sue, and it takes a great deal of money to bring a lawsuit.

How much money is your work comp back claim worth?

Depends- federal workers comp has its own set o federal guidelines than state workers comp. One almost remember that workers comp is a insurance company so the money you receive depends upon many variables - such as your type of injury - you MMI percentage of disability based on the AMA 6 th edition and if you are able to hold gainful employment based on your injury. State comp wants a "one time settlement" where federal comp does a scheduled award. I would recommend before you agree to a settlement from state comp that you either research or hire a attorney. People do not understand that insurance companies low-ball the settlement offers and the settlement money is for The duration of your life span. You can't go back and ask for more under state comp. State comp loves settlements- it gets them off the "long-term" hook Ans the employee gets the shaft because what the employee doesnt understand is that the settlement money is to be uses to cover all future medical expenses to include medicines- test-X-rays And doctors visits and heaven forbid If you require additional surgeries because they are also paid from you settlement. How long do you think that money will last? Most people see $ signs Ans don't look at what they are "settling " for long term. Again- the amount of money you are entitled to depends upon the type of injury you have And the long term affects of that injury to include limited mobility And future employment
