Which type of insurance is appropriate for injuries sustained while on the job?

• A. Worker's Compensation
• B. Health Insurance
• C. Disability
• D. Liability

Answer: (A)

Injuries sustained while on the job are covered by workers' compensation. This program provides medical treatment for work-related injuries and wage replacement during recovery, regardless of fault. It also typically prevents an employee from suing the employer over the injury, streamlining resolution. Health insurance handles medical costs but doesn’t guarantee wage replacement or address workplace incidents; disability insurance offers income when you’re disabled, not specifically for a work-related incident; liability coverage deals with claims against you or by others and isn’t for the employee’s own on-the-job injuries. For on-the-job injuries, workers' compensation is the appropriate protection.
