Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement
and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in
exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee’s right to sue
his or her employer for the tort of negligence. The tradeoff between
assured, limited coverage and lack of recourse outside the worker
compensation system is known as “the compensation bargain”.
