Report Link California Restaurants Learn: Workers' Compensation Insurance Is Essential.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - March 04, 2009 Workers' compensation coverage is a substantial expense for many smaller restaurants, but essential (and required) for all employers. The workers' compensation system is a no-fault system that provides medical coverage, disability payments or compensation for employees injured or killed on the job. In exchange for this no-fault coverage, employees are generally not permitted to sue their employers for the tort of negligence in civil courts. Awards for disabling industrial injuries and death are typically significantly lower than what employees could recover if they were allowed to file a civil lawsuit.
